Setting up Passkeys
Passkeys are a new type of login credential that enables you to authenticate themselves without entering a traditional password.
Instead, you can use your device (such as a phone, laptop, or tablet) to verify your identity.
If you want to geek out, this technology is built on the WebAuthentication (WebAuthn) standard, which utilizes public-key cryptography to secure accounts.
