Let’s be honest. You’ve probably used the same password for all of your online accounts and apps for years. If you’re tech-savvy, you use a password manager that generates strong and secure passwords that are saved in the cloud. 

But have you heard of or used a passkey? They essentially work the same way that most people do to unlock their phones with a numeric pin or facial recognition. And they’ve been well-established as incredibly secure and user-friendly. Tech giants like Amazon, Apple, Google, Meta and Microsoft have all benefited from instituting passkeys and industry associations have pushed to make passkeys the standard.
