Chrome 108 gets passkey support. Drop passwords.

Now Google is finally rolling out Passkeys support in the stable version of Chrome 108 for Windows 11, macOS, and Android, “You can use your passkey to sign in to websites and apps that support them. If you sign in with a passkey, you must authenticate yourself the same way you unlock the device.” Google writes.

Passkeys sync with Google’s password manager on Android and therefore appear just like normal passwords with autofill.

The next step for Chrome should be support for the new standard on iOS and Chromebooks. Sites also need to implement support individually, so it may take some time before you can use a passkey the first time.
