What are passkeys?
Passkeys are pairs of digital “keys,” auto-generated on your device, which only work if they’re used together. For each account or app, one key is kept by the account, and the other lives encrypted on your device.
How passkeys work
When logging into an account, instead of a password, the two keys automatically match together to confirm you’re really you.
Passkeys vs passwords
Because passkeys have two parts in different places, they can’t be guessed, stolen, hacked, or captured by scammers — which makes passkeys exponentially more secure than passwords.
