"Google Announces Passkeys Adopted by Over 400 Million Accounts"

Google announced that over 400 million Google accounts have authenticated users over the past two years through passkeys. Passkeys involve a cryptographic key pair, with a private key stored on the device and a public key shared with the app or website. Since this key pair combination is unique, the user's passkey will only work on the website or app for which it was created. Therefore, the user cannot be tricked into signing in to a malicious look-alike website. This article continues to discuss Google's addition of passkeys, the benefits of passkeys, and some concerns regarding this authentication solution.
