Facebook devises support for Paskeys on iOS and Android, the social network announced Wednesday.
Passkey’s salutables make it difficult to get the bad actors to access your accounts because they require physical access to your phone. Unlike standard logins, passengers use a face identifier or touch ID, PIN, or physical security authentic key to validate logins.
Passkeys removes the need to rely on username and password combinations that can be susceptible to phishing and other problems.
Facebook says Paskeys will also start rolling to a messenger in the coming months, and that users will be able to use the same Passkey for both services.
Passkeys can also be used to automate payment information when purchased with a Meta wage, Facebook says.
To set up Passkey, you will navigate to the new “Passkey” option in accounts center on the Facebook Settings menu. Once it’s set, you can start using your PassKey to log in to Facebook on your phone. You will still be able to use other authentic methods, such as your password to access your account so that you still access the social network when using a device that does not support passengers.
Facebook is one of many technology companies to introduce Passkey support last year or more. Other big names that have done this include Apple,, Microsoft,, Amazon,, Google,, PayPal,, Tiktok,, WhatsApp,, Xand Girub.
