Explore passkeys on Android & Chrome starting today

Starting today, Google is bringing passkey support to both Android
and Chrome.

Passkeys are a significantly safer replacement for passwords and
other phishable authentication factors. They cannot be reused, don't
leak in server breaches, and protect users from phishing attacks.
Passkeys are built on industry standards and work across different
operating systems and browser ecosystems, and can be used for both
websites and apps.

Passkeys follow already familiar UX patterns, and build on the
existing experience of password autofill. 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 on users' phones and computers are backed up and synced
through the cloud to prevent lockouts in the case of device loss.
Additionally, users can use passkeys stored on their phone to sign in
to apps and websites on other nearby devices.

Today's announcement is a major milestone in our work with passkeys,
and enables two key capabilities:

 1. Users can create and use passkeys on Android devices, which are
    securely synced through the Google Password Manager.
 2. Developers can build passkey support on their sites for end-users
    using Chrome via the WebAuthn API, on Android and other supported
    platforms.

To try this today, developers can enroll in the Google Play Services
beta and use Chrome Canary. Both features will be generally available
on stable channels later this year.

Our next milestone in 2022 will be an API for native Android apps.
Passkeys created through the web API will work seamlessly with apps
affiliated with the same domain, and vice versa. The native API will
give apps a unified way to let the user pick either a passkey or a
saved password. Seamless, familiar UX for both passwords and passkeys
helps users and developers gradually transition to passkeys.

Signing in to a website on an Android device with a passkey

For the end-user, creating a passkey requires just two steps: (1)
confirm the passkey account information, and (2) present their
fingerprint, face, or screen lock when prompted.

Signing in is just as simple: (1) The user selects the account they
want to sign in to, and (2) presents their fingerprint, face, or
screen lock when prompted.

Signing in to a website on a nearby computer with a passkey on an
Android device

A passkey on a phone can also be used to sign in on a nearby device.
For example, an Android user can now sign in to a passkey-enabled
website using Safari on a Mac. Similarly, passkey support in Chrome
means that a Chrome user, for example on Windows, can do the same
using a passkey stored on their iOS device.

Since passkeys are built on industry standards, this works across
different platforms and browsers - including Windows, macOS and iOS,
and ChromeOS, with a uniform user experience.

We will continue to do our part for a passwordless future

We have worked with others in the industry, including Apple and
Microsoft, and members within the FIDO Alliance and the W3C to drive
secure authentication standards for years. We have shipped support
for W3C Webauthn and FIDO standards since their inception.

Today is another important milestone, but our work is not done.
Google remains committed to a world where users can choose where
their passwords, and now passkeys, are stored. Please stay tuned for
more updates from us in the next year as we introduce changes to
Android, enabling third party credential managers to support passkeys
for their users.
