Google's passwordless future makes your phone an essential key

Passwordless sign-ins set to arrive in 'the coming year'

Cybersecurity will see a major shift in online safety over the next year, as Google announced it is committed to bringing passwordless sign-ins across websites, apps and devices soon , and your phone will be the key.

To push for a passwordless future, Google announced it will be expanding support for a common passwordless sign-in standard created by the FIDO Alliance and the World Wide Web Consortium. Apple and Microsoft will also be joining the transition from password-only authentication, as a way to protect against phishing attacks and malicious hacking methods.
