Many people face trouble with remembering Facebook passwords. But a permanent solution is on the horizon. Now, online account login can be done using face lock or fingerprint, thanks to Google, Microsoft, and Apple working on a safer and simpler security system.
This system is called Pass-Key. It replaces passwords and allows users to log in to their accounts without needing to remember or type in a password. Instead, biometric data like fingerprints or facial recognition will be used for authentication.
One major advantage of Pass-Key is that it reduces the risk of passwords being stolen or forgotten. Many users struggle to remember different passwords for multiple online accounts, but with Pass-Key, this won’t be a problem anymore.
With Google Pass-Key, logging in won’t require complex password conditions, making the process simpler and more secure. This new system will also provide protection against cyber attacks, enhancing overall online security.
Importantly, Pass-Key doesn’t store any personal information of the user, further reducing the risk of cyber attacks. This means online accounts will be safer than ever before, offering a secure and fast login experience.
To use Pass-Key, users need to sync it online through authentication. For instance, if someone wants to log in to their Gmail account on their PC, they can do so directly using the device’s biometric options like fingerprint or face unlock.
Google has already introduced Pass-Key as an option in their online accounts, and initial user feedback has been positive. It’s expected that other major tech companies will also implement this method in their online accounts within the year, further improving online security for users.
