Facebook rolls out passkey support to fight phishing attacks
Briefly

Facebook is set to implement support for passkeys on its mobile app, allowing users to log in using their device’s authentication methods like fingerprints and face scans. This move provides an enhanced security layer against phishing scams and unauthorized access, as passkeys cannot be stolen or guessed. Although there is no specified release date, Meta intends to extend this feature to the Messenger app as well. Users will still have the option to log in using traditional passwords or other authentication methods, such as two-factor authentication.
Using your device's authentication methods instead of a password enhances security against phishing attacks and unauthorized access to your Facebook account.
Passkeys present a superior alternative to traditional passwords, as they cannot be stolen or guessed, thus significantly bolstering the security of user accounts.
