Google is planning to support passkey on Chrome and Android. The tech giant has made the feature accessible to Chrome Canary or Google Play Services Beta users. At the final of the year, the feature will be accessible through trusted channels. However, Google isn’t the only business that considers passwords.

Apple has announced that it is working with developers, the FIDO alliance and business partners to achieve a password-free future in the Safari browser. This security feature is available on Mac OS X Ventura, iOS 16 and iPad OS 16.

Steps to create passwords in Phone

To create an access key for a website or application, the user must first register with that website or application. When they return to this website or app to log in, they can take the following steps:

  1. Click on the “Sign In” button on the top right corner of the screen.
  2. Enter your username and password and click on “Sign In.”
  3. On the “Access Keys” page, click on “Create New Access Key.”
  4. Enter a name for your access key and click on “Create.”
  5. Copy your access key and keep it safe! You will need it to log in to this website or app in the future. ..

The user’s device signs the login credential using a signature algorithm. This signature is used to verify the login credential between source and password.

Final Words

To start replacing passwords on your phone, you’ll need to use the Web Authentication API. This API replaces public-key cryptography with passwords in the process of authenticating websites and software. Instead of typing a long passcode, you’ll be asked to use Touch ID or Face ID to verify your identity.
