You might have heard the buzz: Google and Apple are moving towards Passkeys. Does this mean passwords are dead? Let's understand the future of logging in. 🔮
🤷♂️ What is a Passkey?
A Passkey replaces typing. Instead of typing MyP@ssw0rd!, you just use your fingerprint, face, or phone PIN to log in to websites. It works just like unlocking your phone.
🆚 Passkeys vs. Traditional Passwords
| Feature | Password | Passkey |
|---|---|---|
| Phishing Risk | High 🔴 | Zero 🟢 |
| Convenience | Low (Must Remember) | High (One Tap) |
🧐 Should You Stop Using Passwords?
Not yet! Passkeys are still new. Many websites don't support them yet. For now, the best strategy is a Hybrid Approach:
- Use Passkeys where available (Google, WhatsApp).
- Use Strong Generated Passwords for everything else (Netflix, SMM Panels, Forums).
The future is convenient, but until then, keep your generator tool handy! 🛠️🔒
