Innovation at Google has brought us a solution to one of the biggest tech frustrations: passwords. They can be too complex to remember or too easy, leaving our accounts vulnerable. But now, Google has introduced a groundbreaking innovation that seems set to change Google password security forever. Welcome to the era of Google Passkey.

Never Know Which Password is Better? Prepare to Be Amazed

Passwords have long been a source of frustration for tech-savvy individuals. They require the perfect balance between complexity and memorability, a task easier said than done. Fortunately, there’s a new solution in town – Google Passkey. This revolutionary tool, which eliminates the need for traditional passwords, is about to change the way we secure our accounts. Say goodbye to sticky notes and forgotten passwords and say hello to a faster and more secure way to log in. With this innovation at Google, Google account recovery password hassles are a thing of the past.

What is Google Passkey?

Google Passkey, built on the foundation of the Fast IDentity Online (FIDO) protocol, is a personalized FIDO credential that resides securely on your device. Instead of relying on a username and password, you’ll use this passkey to unlock your accounts. That will make the login process more convenient and secure. Furthermore, this is the innovation at Google that’s changing the game. After all, it will provide you with an alternative to the cumbersome Google password reset process.

The Security Advantage

Unlike traditional passwords, which are notoriously easy to crack, passkeys are near-impenetrable. Google stores them locally on your device, eliminating the risk of hacking or guessing. Each device has its unique passkey, so there’s no concern about a hacker gaining access to all your accounts with a single stolen password.

Setting Up Google Passkey

If you’re tired of typing in credentials all day, you can set up Google Passkey with your Google account. Simply follow these steps:

1. Visit g.co/passkeys.
2. Tap “Get passkeys” and sign in.
3. Select “Use passkeys” and follow the onscreen prompts. This is where the Google’s innovation truly shines, providing a hassle-free alternative to the traditional Google password reset process.

Additionally, the company recommends to use biometric authentication, like your fingerprint or face, for enhanced security.

For Apple Users

Apple enthusiasts, fear not! You can use Google Passkey with your iPhone through the iCloud Keychain. To enable passkeys, you must turn on iCloud Keychain and two-factor authentication, though. Note that you’ll need iOS 16, iPadOS 16, macOS 13, or tvOS 16 (or later).

For websites and apps that support passkeys, the process involves the following steps:

1. Visit the sign-in screen for a supported website or app.
2. If setting up a new account, follow the onscreen instructions and save your passkey when prompted.

If the website or app doesn’t support passkeys, this option won’t appear. To sign in using your passkey, tap the account name, use Face ID or Touch ID, and let your saved passkey complete the sign-in process automatically.
