O Google revealed that, as of this Wednesday, it is already possible to 'login' to its services with “passkeys”, a system similar to that used to unlock mobile phones, through a pin, fingerprint or facial identification.
With this new system, the US company intends to facilitate access to services such as Gmail or YouTube by users in their personal accounts, and also in greater security, although the traditional system of "passwords" will also remain, for now, to work.
To access the new method, the user will have to certify the mobile phone or other reliable device from which he usually accesses the services.

To do so, simply log into your personal Google account and visit the page g.co/passkeys, then clicking on the “use access keys” option.
If the access keys have been configured correctly, logging into Google will then only require an email address, after which the user will receive a message on the device asking for a fingerprint, your face or a PIN.
According to the company, it is possible to use this system on 'iPhones', on the 'Android' system, on 'Macs' and on computers with 'Windows'. It is also possible to share the “passkey” with several devices belonging to the same user.
Google highlighted that the new system is more secure and has greater reliability, since passwords are easily stolen by 'hackers' or compromised in security breaches, in addition to being often forgotten by users, who tend to choose simple 'passwords' so they can remember. Fingerprints or facial recognition are unique and difficult to reproduce.
