Passkey solutions verify that you do have the private keys, and if so, authorize your session. But only you have the private keys for the credentials. When you log in with a Passkey, both the requesting service and you have the public encryption keys for authorization. Instead, credentials are stored in some central location or on a device along with the public and private encryption keys. With Passkeys, you don’t need to know a password. They should support Passkeys for Chromebooks. The latter action makes me happy because I’ve said for a while that fingerprint sensors on Chromebooks need to do more.
When prompted to sign in to a web app on your Chromebook then, you can use your Google password, your Chromebook PIN, or even biometrics to authenticate the Passkey.
Add 1password browser extension chrome password#
Passkeys for Chromebooks, for example, can be stored in the Google Password Manager. There’s a hint of two-factor authentication (2FA) as you can use a second device for authentication, although it’s not required.
What are Passkeys?Īs I understand it, Passkeys are digitally encrypted credentials tied to an app or web account. It’s not specific to ChromeOS or Chromebooks, but I thought to share information in this context. Passkeys on Chromebooks are coming and this solution will greatly reduce, if not get rid of, having to type passwords. After sharing Chromebook security tips yesterday, I have a timely follow-up today.
