Not password! Google brings in 'passkeys' for Chrome users; Here's what it is

American tech giant Google has brought in a new feature for its Chrome users. On Android, passkeys will be securely synced through Google Password Manager or, in future versions of Android, any other password manager that supports passkeys. To give users control over passkeys, from Chrome M108 one can manage your passkeys from within Chrome on Windows and macOS. Google enables users can sync their passkeys from Android to other devices using either the company's own password manager or a compatible third-party password manager like 1Password or Dashlane. Google suggests that these new modes will allow users to reduce Chrome's memory usage by up to 30% and extend battery life when a device is running low on power.
