And as a business owner with staff, you should pay attention to this game-changing innovation.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s everything you need to know.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What are Passkeys?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Imagine logging into your account using just a four-digit PIN or your biometric data like fingerprints or facial recognition. That&#8217;s precisely what a Passkey is.<\/p>\n<p>Simple, isn&#8217;t it?<\/p>\n<p>But don&#8217;t let the simplicity fool you. This new technology significantly reduces the likelihood of having your credentials stolen or your account taken over by cyber criminals.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How do Passkeys work?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Creating a Passkey is easy. Head over to Google&#8217;s official Passkeys website, create a PIN or connect your biometrics (fingerprint or face), link your smartphone, and you&#8217;re done.<\/p>\n<p>Just remember, your PC needs to run at least Windows 10, or your Mac should have macOS Ventura or above. And on your phone, you need Android 9 or iOS 16.<\/p>\n<p>As of now, this tech works only on Microsoft Edge, Safari, and Google Chrome browsers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What are the benefits of Passkeys?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>According to Google, 64% of people find Passkeys easier to use than traditional login methods.<\/p>\n<p>Not only are they simpler and more secure, they&#8217;re also faster. Logging in with a Passkey is 40% quicker than using a regular password.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What&#8217;s next?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Google&#8217;s decision to make Passkeys the default sign-in method is just the beginning. The tech giant is already working with select partners to make this new login usable across Chrome and Android. It&#8217;s already available on Uber and eBay, with plans to expand to WhatsApp soon.<\/p>\n<p>So, it might be wise to start thinking about how Passkeys can benefit your business. After all, Google could soon roll out this feature for business accounts too.<\/p>\n<p>Meantime, if you&#8217;re not quite ready to embrace Passkeys, you can still opt-out. Just head to the Sign-in options page, find &#8220;Skip Password When Possible&#8221;, and toggle off the switch.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019d recommend you give it a try and see how much easier \u2013 and more secure \u2013 it can make things. And of course, if you need any help, get in touch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Passwords could soon be a thing of the past, thanks to Passkeys.
