Google expands support for passkeys and adds them to its Advanced Protection Program
Passwords have long been a major headache for internet users and security pros alike, as they are vulnerable to hacking and easy to forget. Google, however, has been making strides to leave passwords in the past. As part of that effort, and two years since passkeys’ launch on World Password Day 2022, Google has taken to its blog to share new announcements aimed at making online accounts harder to crack.
Google’s passkey technology has been used a whopping one billion times over four hundred million Google Accounts since their launch. You’ve heard it before, passkeys are said to be a much more secure alternative to traditional passwords.
