What are passkeys?
Passkeys are a new type of login credential that entirely replaces passwords. Unlike like passwords, you do not need to try and remember a string with 8-32 characters, one uppercase, one lowercase, and one number, and a special character from a limited list. Passkeys are stored on your smartphone, tablet, or computer and are protected by biometrics like Face ID, Touch ID, or your device PIN. There is no such thing as a weak passkey.
Most importantly, without physical access to your devices (and a way to unlock them) no one can log in to your passkey-protected accounts.
Additionally, passkeys cannot be phished.
