Passkeys on users’ phones and computers are backed up and synced through the cloud to prevent lockouts in the case of device loss. For end-users, using one is similar to using a saved password today, where they simply confirm with their existing device screen lock such as their fingerprint. Passkeys follow already familiar UX patterns, and build on the existing experience of password autofill. Passkeys are built on industry standards and work across different operating systems and browser ecosystems, and can be used for both websites and apps. They cannot be reused, don't leak in server breaches, and protect users from phishing attacks. Passkeys are a significantly safer replacement for passwords and other phishable authentication factors.
