Google wants to eliminate passwords

Tired of racking your brain after another password change? Google knows that, and it's rolling out an alternative. The tech giant has introduced passkeys, a feature it calls "a major step" toward eliminating passwords for good. 

Users will be able to access their accounts — much like they might access their phone — by scanning their finger or face, or using a PIN, Google says. Passkeys are also more secure than passwords because they use "cryptographic keys stored on your devices," making them resistant to phishing attacks, Wired notes.
