Google has made passkeys the default sign-in option for all users, as part of efforts to move towards passwordless authentication. Passkeys enable users to sign into apps and websites using biometric sensors, such as fingerprint or facial recognition, PIN, or pattern. They are phishing resistant, more secure than passwords, and remove the need for multi-factor authentication. The shift towards passkeys is part of a wider industry trend to reduce reliance on passwords. #CyberMonth #Passkeys #PasswordlessAuthentication #BiometricAuthentication
