Amazon Introduces Passkeys to Enhance User Security and Convenience in Logging In

Amazon's move to offer passkeys as an alternative login method aims to use biometric systems built into mobile devices, IOS before Android, improving user security and simplifying the login process.

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.
