Passkey is a feature that provides a safer and easier password alternative, designed to simplify the entry process on multiple devices.

Passkey provides better security than traditional passwords because it is created individually by your devices for each account, so it is not easily attacked by phishing and unauthorized access.

With this launch, X encourages users to sign up on the passkey to get some benefits, including:

A smooth log-in experience: Password makes the entry process easy and comfortable. Once the settings are complete, you can use the password to log in to your account on various devices without having to remember or reset the forgotten password.

Advanced security: Passwords provide a higher level of security for your account. Because it is uniquely created by your device, password keys are not too vulnerable to security threats such as fraudulent attacks, deception, or illegal attacks.
