Course overview
It's difficult to make and use foolproof passwords for every account you use. And even if you do, they can be stolen in phishing attacks or other cybercrimes. That's why major tech companies have joined forces to create "passkeys" instead. Unlike passwords, passkeys are tied to a device rather than a website. That means you can log in with a PIN or a biometric input, like a fingerprint or face ID on your device, and your accounts can be more secure than ever. No passwords to come up with or remember at all!
