Passkey will become the default login method for Google accounts

Google is making passkeys the default method for logging into accounts. That was a password until now.

A password remains mandatory in places where logging in with passkeys is not possible, but users receive standard passkeys as a method of logging in. reports Google. This means that logging in works with a facial scan, fingerprint or PIN code, instead of a password. Google has supported passkeys since earlier this year. There will also be an option in settings that allows users to log in with a passkey if possible.
