Google To Phase Out Passwords, Roll Out Fingerprint, Face Scan, Others - Computers
Google has started rolling out passkeys to replace the use of passwords on its apps and websites. The company is working in collaboration with Microsoft, Apple, and Fido Alliance to phase out passwords.

It hinted, however, that by next year when World Password Day is being celebrated, passwords may have been completely phased out.
