  • Google starts showing prompts to create and use passkeys to streamline the way you sign in to your personal account.
  • You'll also see a new option to "skip password when possible" in your account settings page.
  • Users will still be able to sign in with a password and can opt out of passkeys for the time being.

I don't understand it. How do you log in from another computer? How do you log out on a shared computer?

You'd use your phone to sign in, since possession of your pass key device is the proof instead of a password.

To log out just click on the log out link or whatever the site has?

The situation seems a bit messed up if you forget your phone or can't access it though.

That’s why you can use a password manager to store your passkeys, such as 1Password, and configure it on your phone to be your default passkey provider !
