This new feature should be called passkeys. Its main purpose is to eliminate the need to enter a password to access Internet services. Instead of passwords, universal keys with FIDO (Fast Identity Online) technology use cryptographic keys that will be securely stored on the user's device and in the Google account. However, users will still need to remember their Google Account password. In addition to Google, the FIDO Alliance that developed this technology includes Samsung, Apple, Microsoft, Meta, Amazon, Intel and other important (and not only) technology companies.
