1Password, a popular password manager, has launched a beta program for Passkeys, a new login technology that promises to make online authentication more secure and convenient.
Passkeys are a replacement for passwords and use cryptographic keys stored on your device to log into websites and apps. They are more secure than passwords because they can not be forged or reused, and they are more convenient because you do not have to remember them.
1Password is one of the first password managers to support passkeys, and the company is committed to making online security more accessible and convenient. The company’s beta program is currently available for Chrome, Edge, Safari, Firefox and Brave browsers. To participate, you can download the 1Password beta extension and create a new account.
Once you have created a passkey, you can use it to log in to any website or app that supports passkeys. To do so, simply click the “Sign in with Passkey” button when prompted.
1Password’s mission is to make online security more accessible and convenient. Passkeys are an important step towards that goal, and we are excited to be one of the first password managers to support them.
Using passkeys has several advantages over passwords. First, passwords are more secure. They are not stored on a server, so they cannot be forged or stolen. Second, passwords are more convenient. You do not have to remember them and they are filled in automatically when you log in to a website or app. Third, passkeys are supported by all major browsers and operating systems.
To use Passkeys, you need to download the 1Password beta extension for your browser. Once you install the extension, you can create a new passkey for any website or app that supports passkeys. To do this, follow the steps below:
1. Go to the website or app for which you want to create a passkey.
2. Click the “Sign in with Passkey” button.
3. Click the “Create Passkey” button.
4. Enter a name for your passkey.
5. Click the “Create” button.
The next time you log in to the website or app, you can use your passkey instead of a password.
