You'll also be able to log in to sites on your computer through your phone via the magic of a QR code. As with passwords, how long that authentication lasts will vary: With your banking app, you'll usually have to log in every time, whereas with a social media account one login per device is often enough.

Whenever you need to log in to that app in future, you'll need to go through the same unlock process. That creates the passkey and authenticates the link between the app in question and the device in your hand. You'll then be asked to create a passkey, which will involve you having to do the same action you do to unlock your phone-show your face, press down your fingerprint, or enter a PIN. Let's say Google has finished rolling out passkey support to Android, you're logging in to an app that has been updated to use passkeys, and you've said yes when prompted to make the switch from a standard password. You'll be able to choose to move to a passkey system for your accounts, but only when the app you're logging in to and the device you're using have been upgraded with passkey support. The good news is that using passkeys is as easy as unlocking your phone-it's intended to be as straightforward as possible. Biometric authentication can be used in place of a password.
