Passkeys are becoming more popular as a replacement for traditional passwords, offering a more convenient and secure way to log in to the internet. With passkeys, users no longer need to remember multiple passwords and can instead use their PC or smartphone to generate a key pair for authentication. Passkeys provide protection against phishing and can be used with various online services, including Amazon, Google, and PayPal. They can be set up on a PC or smartphone, with the latter offering the advantage of automatic synchronization and backup in the cloud. It is recommended to familiarize oneself with passkeys by switching a few accounts to this method and to set up additional options for two-factor authentication and recovery.
