We are introducing a new way of signing into your account. This system is commonly called Passkeys.
Passkeys are a new, more secure way to sign in to apps and websites without using passwords. They work based on public-key cryptography and are designed to be phishing-resistant. Instead of typing a password, you authenticate using biometrics (like Face ID or fingerprint), a PIN, or a device unlock method.
How Passkeys Works:
Creation: When you create a passkey for an account, your device generates two cryptographic keys:
A public key, which is stored on the website or service.
A private key, which stays securely on your device.
Authentication: When logging in:
The website sends a challenge to your device.
Your device signs it with the private key after you verify your identity (biometric, PIN, etc.).
The website verifies the response using the stored public key.
Why Passkeys Are Better Than Passwords:
Phishing-resistant (no one can trick you into revealing your credentials).
No password leaks (since there's no password to steal).
Easier login (no need to remember or type passwords).
Works across devices (with cloud sync like iCloud Keychain or Google Password Manager).
