Huge day for passkeys!

Starting today, you can set up a passkey for your Google account. At this stage of the industry-wide transition, setting up a passkey doesn’t invalidate your password, so it’s 100% safe to set up. https://blog.google/technology/safety-security/the-beginning-of-the-end-of-the-password/

The beginning of the end of the password

We’ve begun rolling out support for passkeys across Google Accounts on all major platforms as an additional option that people can use to sign in.

@rmondello First time I try PassKey.
Damn, this thing is so EASY to setup.
What kind of dark magic is this?
Now I wanna build it in my company’s auth server 😂

@deanatoire but we can’t remove Google Password yet, right?

@longfy 🤷‍♂️ I don’t think so, and I feel more confortable with my password as a backup plan ^^

@deanatoire looking at the Google Security page, I have too many options available to logon to Google. I’m not really sure if that’s secure anymore. Removed many things now that I have passkey - cell number, email verification, Google prompt etc. Yet, even with passkey, my single point of failure is my phone - if it were lost to theft, I’m doomed. Hmm…
