Google just made passwords redundant with this stunning Chrome passkeys announcement. Here’s what you need to know.

There’s a new hacking method making the rounds and it’s as clever as it is annoying. According to a new report, attackers are using the Kiosk Mode of Chrome to put the browser into full-screen mode, which then refuses to let you do anything else until you input your Google password.

Chrome is working to enhance security with biometric authentication for password autofill. Chrome currently overrides system-level settings to prioritize biometric ID verification. New Chrome flag in Canary ensures biometric ID is needed before password fill-ins.

Chrome for Android password biometrics will finally start making sure who you are before filling in your saved account data.

Google has introduced Chrome password sync through a new password manager PIN function across Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and ChromeOS platforms. The move marks a change from having to use the original device that generated a passkey to scan a QR code in order to authenticate a login.

Google is improving the built-in password manager in Google Chrome to make it easier to use passkeys on the desktop.
