Passkeys

Categories: Tech Tip Tuesday

Use passkeys instead of passwords where possible

Passkeys are replacing passwords on many major services and are both easier and more secure. They use your device’s biometrics or PIN instead of a memorized password, which means:

• no phishing via fake login pages
• no reused passwords
• faster logins across devices

You can enable them on services like:

• Google, Microsoft and Apple

A few extra tips:

• Keep at least one backup authentication method.
• Use a password manager even if you use passkeys.
• Turn on multi-factor authentication for anything financial or work-related.
