Following the positive feedback received since implementing passkeys support, the company is attempting to further encourage their use by displaying prompts to create and use passkeys upon users signing in to their accounts. Additionally, a “Skip password when possible” toggle will now be available within Google account settings, so that users have an option to still use a password on sites or apps that have yet to get on board.
This means the next time you sign in to your account, you’ll start seeing prompts to create and use passkeys, simplifying your future sign-ins. It also means you’ll see the “Skip password when possible” option toggled on in your Google Account settings. – Google
Google knows that passkeys won’t just become the new standard across the industry overnight, and acknowledges that passwords will still be around for a while. However, that is not stopping the company from encouraging others to pivot and adopt them so we could be one stop closer to a password-less future.
