Apple demos Safari’s ‘passkeys’ support in macOS Ventura that will help bring an end to passwords - The Verge

Apple has demonstrated how its Safari browser in the new macOS Ventura release will support a new paswordless authentication standard on the web. Now "passkeys" will log in using Face ID or Touch ID on your Mac or iPhone

At its WWDC 2022 event, Apple just demonstrated how Safari in macOS Ventura will support “passkeys,” a sign-in standard that’s built with cross-platform support to enable logins that don’t use passwords at all. Apple isn’t alone in this effort either, as last month Google and Microsoft joined with Apple to announce their new step forward for a long-in-development plot to kill passwords once and for all.

By avoiding the use of passwords entirely, they should prevent users from falling victim to phishing attacks, social engineering, or bot attacks that plug in passwords snagged from databases of leaked passwords. Instead, you can use a device (like your phone or computer) as your primary authentication device, so using Face ID or Touch ID or entering the device PIN will be enough for you to log in on various services across the web.
