Google this week said it is rolling out an update for its users that it describes as “the beginning of the end of the password.”

Known as “passkeys,” the tech giant wrote that “passkeys for Google Accounts are available” starting this week. Google also suggested that passwords may eventually be phased out for its products, including Gmail and YouTube.
