Sure, here is an article on how to create and manage Google Passkeys.
What are Google Passkeys?
Google Passkeys are a new way to sign in to websites and apps using your fingerprint or face instead of a password. They are more secure than passwords because they are stored on your device and not in the cloud. This means your Passkeys will still be safe even if your password is leaked.
How to create a Google Passkey
To create a Google Passkey, you must use a supporting device. Currently, this includes:
- Laptops or desktops running at least Windows 10, macOS Ventura, or ChromeOS 109
- Mobile devices running at least Android 9 or iOS 16
Once you are using a supported device, you can create a Google Passkey by following these steps:
- Go to the website or app that you want to sign in to.
- Click on the sign-in button.
- If you see the option to use a Google Passkey, click on it.
- If you are on a laptop or desktop, your device will prompt you to scan your fingerprint or face.
- You will be asked to enter your PIN or pattern if you are on a mobile device.
Once you have created a Google Passkey for a website or app, you can sign in to it without entering a password again.
How to manage your Google Passkeys
You can manage your Google Passkeys by going to your Google Account settings. To do this, follow these steps:
- Go to myaccount.google.com.
- Click on the “Security” tab.
- Under “Signing in to Google,” click on “Passwords and other sign-in methods.”
- Under “Passkey,” you will see a list of all the websites and apps that you have used Google Passkeys to sign in to.
You can also delete Google Passkeys that you no longer need. To do this, click on the three dots next to the Passkey and select “Delete.”

- They are more secure than passwords.
