Google has decided to make its users say goodbye to passwords. The announcement is official and has blown everyone away: here’s what’s new.
The effectiveness of passwords has been discussed for years, a means that until a few years ago was indispensable for protecting all users’ personal data. For some time now, however, access keys are no longer considered so inviolable. In fact, people’s privacy is increasingly vulnerable, so much so that the IT company has taken a drastic decision.
The protection of personal information has always been a topic of enormous importance, so much so that for several months there have been rumors of the total disappearance of passwords. The goal of authorities and companies is to protect privacy and ensure the conservation of sensitive data, an issue that has always been delicate for various reasons.
Just on the subject of safety, Google intervened by deciding to delete passwords. In fact, the company has launched a new initiative, giving the Passkey supportthus setting aside not only passwords for login, but also two-factor authentication. A novelty also welcomed by users who have not disdained.
Goodbye Google password, Passkey support arrives: here’s how it works
We can anticipate in saying that the Passkey support for Google definitively abandons the concept of traditional password and verification codes, including those related to the captcha. It is practically a general reset to open up to the new frontier of protections, but how?
When the Passkey function will come activated via the Chrome settings, users will receive the possibility to skip all the panels dedicated to activating the passwords required for login. In a sense, it is assumed that Passkey support will be active by then.
The new function will take care of running the excess through a simple security code. This means that you will leave behind all those other tools that used to be used. For the moment, however, this Google novelty is not available to all users, but only some can benefit from it.
In order to have Passkey support, in fact, you will have to wait for the release of the function for both Android and iOS devices. Surely, however, the wait will be worth it as the benefits are guaranteed. For anyone who is afraid for their privacy, there are some tips to take to protect personal data from apps and from Google itself.
