Passkeys are a new way to sign in to websites and apps using your Android phone. They are more secure than passwords because they are tied to your device’s hardware, so they can’t be phished or leaked. In this blog post, we will let you in detail how to set a passkey for Google on Android phones, what are the benefits of setting a passkey for Google on Android phones and some additional tips for using a passkey.  Let’s see how to do this.

What is Google Passkey?

A new way of logging in to apps and websites is Google Passkeys. They are more secure than passwords because they use your device (computer or mobile) to verify your identity. You can unlock your device with your fingerprint, PIN, or face scan.

Passwords are hard to remember and make strong. Even if you use Two Factor Authentication or Multi-Factor Authentication (2FA/MFA), you can still be tricked by phishing attacks (SIM swap). Google Passkeys will prevent these problems easily.
