Google has made an important change that will affect all of us. Google has announced that you will no longer need a password to log into your account. Yes, you read it right. Google has introduced a new feature called Google Passkeys, which will be a default part of the sign-in process. Google has started informing users about the Passkeys feature through notifications.
The purpose of sending the notification is to inform users about this new feature and provide a path to creating passkeys. If you have not received any notification, we will soon explain how to create the passkey. But before we get into that, let's understand what Passkey is.

What is Passkey?
Compared to passwords, Passkeys provide greater security. Passkey helps users log into their accounts through biometric sensors (facial recognition/fingerprint), patterns, and PINs. This means that Google Passkeys will play an important role in preventing hacking.
