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