Overview

• Amazon is introducing passkey support on browsers and mobile shopping apps as an alternative to traditional passwords for account security.
• The passkey system allows users to sign into their Amazon accounts using their device's Face ID, Touch ID, or a unique digital key, reducing the need to remember multiple passwords.
• Passkeys offer increased security as they require both a public key and a private key saved on a user's device, making it difficult for hackers to gain access with only the public key.
• Despite the launch of passkeys, Amazon will continue to support traditional password logins for the foreseeable future.
• To set up an Amazon passkey, customers can do so by following simple instructions on the Amazon website or app.
