Passkeys are a safer replacement for passwords and other perishable authentication factor.

They are more secure as they cannot be reused, do not leak in server breaches and protect users from phishing attacks.

[{"selector":"#anim-7ba205c2-68fd-4a04-9635-03e8ec2f606d","keyframes":{"transform":["rotate(-540deg) scale(0.1)","none"],"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"fill":"both","iterations":1}] [{"selector":"#anim-2706ca16-6f18-43e4-9eff-781d1c5ab2ad","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(114.92064%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-c814ca77-7c2e-4c54-a6a3-61bc016f81bf","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-352c3b12-3a1b-46e8-99e5-a8e3c5502b03","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Passkeys are created on industry standards and can function across different operating system.

[{"selector":"#anim-c0ceb3fb-4e30-4229-8d76-6c078e8ec3b8","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(1)","scale(1.5)","scale(0.95)","scale(1)"],"offset":[0,0.33,0.66,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1450,"easing":"ease-in-out","fill":"both","iterations":1}] [{"selector":"#anim-159e12cf-291a-4cce-9efd-2d2420137696 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0, 7.393505164186909%, 0)","translate3d(0, 0%, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

They can be used with both websites and applications that support them.

[{"selector":"#anim-c1d79e1f-ccbc-494d-beb3-b535925528e3","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(1)","scale(1.5)","scale(0.95)","scale(1)"],"offset":[0,0.33,0.66,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1450,"easing":"ease-in-out","fill":"both","iterations":1}] [{"selector":"#anim-7af07b04-2cb7-415f-8f15-941b43516cc0 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0, -21.487450480848842%, 0)","translate3d(0, 0%, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

To sign in with a passkey, users will be required to authenticate themselves in the same way as they unlock a device.

[{"selector":"#anim-5fe486b9-aa57-42dd-b771-53c29c56e092","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-e1b78f4f-2a63-44af-a9c4-f0377d035316","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(114.55109%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-c5669b8b-54ef-4b4e-8991-33206fc840b5 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(-2.7416121013556287%, 12.425899013003775%) scale(1.2487562189054726)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

"With the latest version of Chrome, we're enabling passkeys on Windows 11, macOS, and Android,"

[{"selector":"#anim-e91d2c08-b843-4b27-960c-ecd5f3b47feb","keyframes":{"opacity":[1,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-d9e4312d-f392-4df9-a943-d5f8b0f0cea4","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(3)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-ef92fbd5-0844-4af4-a40a-61a493c7848d [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(-0.2315389363661808%, 0.028381875404731183%) scale(0.8188405797101449)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Users can also choose to use a passkey from their nearby smartphone on a desktop device.

[{"selector":"#anim-ad7c379e-a573-4b77-9cfd-8197113a2de6","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-fc4a95ab-005d-4e84-a324-e0660f0c51be","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-117.47573%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-73ea6188-53d8-40d3-842b-d6963a707e97 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(-1.7515022366104198%, 1.0520900538068891%) scale(1.2702702702702702)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

In October, Google rolled out passkey support in its Chrome Canary
