What is a passkey and how do I remove it?
Passkeys are a secure alternative to traditional passwords. They are designed to make logging in to websites and apps easier and safer by using biometrics such as Face ID or fingerprints or a device Personal Identification Number (PIN) to authenticate users.
Possible benefits of having passkeys:
- No passwords to remember
- Resistant to phishing and compromised credentials
- Works across Apple®1, Google®2, Microsoft®
- Can sync across devices (e.g., iCloud Keychain®, Google® Password Manager)
Removing a passkey varies based on device and operating system.
