Meta has begun rolling out passkey login authentication for Facebook users on iOS and Android mobile devices, marking a significant advancement in the industry-wide movement away from traditional password-based security. The implementation follows similar moves by tech giants Apple, Google, and Microsoft who have been leading the charge toward passwordless authentication.

The new passkey feature will become available to users globally over the coming weeks. To use the functionality, users must have devices that support FIDO2/WebAuthn standards, which are commonly found in modern iOS and Android smartphones. These standards, developed through collaboration between the FIDO Alliance and the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), provide a secure framework for passwordless authentication that has been widely adopted across the technology industry.
