Google accounts will be logged in with passkey instead of password
Passkeys aims to replace passwords by leveraging users’ pre-set biometric authentication, or PIN. With Passkeys, accounts will be stored on the user’s device and thus cryptographically protected.

Is the era of DuckDuckGo starting instead of Google on iPhones?
Apple teams up with DuckDuckGo for Safari Private Browsing. He wanted to make it the default search engine instead of Google.
The most important point for Passkeys is that the keys are account specific. This prevents a possible breach on one site from blocking other services.
Google stated that pass keys are resistant to attacks such as phishing and are more secure than single-use codes. Even if a website is hacked, users’ other information will not be accessible thanks to the passkey.
Passkeys becoming default means that Google accounts will be opened with a passkey specific to each device. However, users who wish can continue to use a password by changing their account settings.
