Here's How to Switch to Passkeys With Google Password Manager

"You can learn more about passkeys here, but in short, they're a method to confirm you are who you say you are so that you don't have to remember a long password for every app and website you log in to. You can use a passkey for your Google account, but you can also store passkeys for other websites with the Google Password Manager, which is available on Chrome or directly through Android."

"To use a passkey with your Google account, go to g.co/passkeys and follow the prompts. You'll log in to your Google account and create a passkey, either bound to your device or stored in a third-party password manager. If you aren't using a third-party password manager, your Google passkey will be bound to the device you're using. Apple devices sync your passkeys across other Apple devices with iCloud Keychain, but otherwise you'll need the device you created the passkey on to log in."

"It's easy to change your password, but it's not so easy to add passkeys to an account you've already created, much less manage them solely in your browser. Still, you can use passkeys with the Google Password Manager on supported websites; you'll just need to jump through a few hoops first."

Google now allows generation, storage, and syncing of passkeys via Google Password Manager for supported websites. Passkeys verify identity so users need not remember long passwords for every site or app. Google account passkeys can be device-bound or stored in a third-party password manager; if not stored externally, the passkey stays on the device used to create it. Apple devices synchronize passkeys through iCloud Keychain. Adding passkeys to existing accounts and managing them solely in a browser can be complicated. Supported OS and browser versions are required to create and use passkeys, and management is available under account security settings.
