PayPal says that the rollout will start on its website, rather than its app, and that you have to be running Chrome on Android 9 or up to access passkeys. If it\u2019s available for your account, you may get a prompt asking if you want to create a passkey, which you can authenticate using the biometric system or passcode that you use to unlock your phone.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Passkeys are based on FIDO authentication standards, and are generally cross-platform compatible \u2014 though as PayPal shows, you may have to wait for a site or service to roll out support on every platform you use. Several password managers, including the ones built into iOS and Android, support syncing passkeys between devices, and there are ways to access them when you\u2019re using a device that they\u2019re not synced to as well. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Despite several big tech companies pitching passkeys as the key (no pun intended) to the passwordless future, they\u2019re still relatively rare. 1Password has a page that keeps track of what sites and services support them, and while it does have some big names like Best Buy, Okta, Microsoft, and eBay, there\u2019s still only 38 entries on the list. Even if there are actually double the number of sites that support passkeys, you\u2019d still be pretty hard-pressed to ditch passwords for good at this point.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n[ad_2]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
