Passkeys remove the onus from the user to create, remember and guard all their passwords. Apple, Google and Microsoft are supporting passkeys and encourage users to use them instead of passwords.

By using this simple method, you can create strong, memorable passwords and protect your accounts without the hassle of password managers or passkey.

Passwords as we know them began appearing in the 1960s, when MIT introduced them for its Compatible Time-Sharing System (CTSS), which allowed multiple users to log into the same computer.
