Passkeys want to create a password-free future. Here’s what they are and how you can start using them.

Passwords suck. They’re hard to remember, but worse is playing the ever-evolving game of cybersecurity whack-a-mole with your most important accounts. That’s where passkeys come into play. The so-called “war on passwords” has taken off over the past two years, with titans like Google, Microsoft, and Apple pushing for a password-less future that the FIDO Alliance (a consortium made to “help reduce the world’s over-reliance on passwords”) has been trying to realize for over a decade.

Like it or not, you’ll be prompted to create a passkey at some point, and you likely already have. That’s a good thing, as passkeys aren’t only much easier to use than a traditional password, they’re also a lot safer. Here’s everything you need to know about using them.
