Overview

• Facebook has begun rolling out passkey support on iOS and Android mobile apps, enabling login via device biometrics or PIN.
• Users can set up and manage passkeys in the Accounts Center under Settings without Meta ever storing the credentials.
• The same passkey will work for Messenger when support arrives in the coming months, simplifying authentication across apps.
• Passkeys cannot be guessed, stolen, or leaked and protect against phishing by linking credentials to specific domains.
• Passkeys can also autofill payment details in Meta Pay, reflecting a broader industry shift spearheaded by the FIDO Alliance.
