Like many other services lately, Google is working on testing automated switching from passwords to passkeys in Chrome. Windows Report first spotted the flag hidden in the Canary build of Chrome which can automatically convert saved passwords into passkeys when a user is logged into a site or service.
The process doesn’t require any prompts or interaction from the user but will run automatically in the background once enabled. When you access a website and log in using a saved username and password, a passkey will automatically be created as long as the site in question supports it. This is supposed to happen invisibly, making the switchover easy for the user. Currently, the system in Chrome prompts users to adopt passkeys instead of passwords and requires confirmation after the prompt.
