What do you do to keep your online accounts safe?<\/p>\n
That\u2019s the question of the week.<\/p>\n
With the growing popularity of passkeys, the days of strong passwords might soon be in the past.<\/p>\n
Passkeys allow you to log into your accounts by simply unlocking them on your phone or device.<\/p>\n
Many of the most popular apps, services and tech companies are embracing passkeys.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Microsoft, Google and Apple have joined a group called the FIDO Alliance, whose goal is to reduce the world\u2019s reliance on passwords while still keeping people\u2019s information safe.<\/p>\n
Even popular gaming apps like Roblox are using this new passkey technology.<\/p>\n
And while passkeys might be the future of online security, there are still lots of sites and apps using passwords.<\/p>\n
So what do you do in your day-to-day life to keep your online accounts and identity safe?<\/p>\n
