Instead of entering a password to sign into a website or app, you just unlock your mobile device. Your Android phone will store a “passkey” that’s used to unlock an online account (in Google Chrome). We plan to implement passwordless support in Android & Chrome.Īpple (iOS, macOS, Safari) and Microsoft (Windows, Edge) are also supporting the new standards, thus simplifying “sign-ins across devices, websites, and applications no matter the platform - without the need for a single password.” How passkeys on Android, Chrome will work Today, in honor of World Password Day, we’re announcing a major milestone in this journey: over the next year all major device platforms have committed to building in support for passwordless FIDO Sign-in standards. Google has been working to replace passwords for the past decade or so due to people’s poor password hygiene (i.e., reusing credentials across multiple services), vulnerability to data breaches, and phishing scams. Following our report last month, Google today announced its support for “passwordless FIDO Sign-in standards” and previewed what the end-user experience of passkeys on Android and Chrome will look like.
