arstechnica Apple, Google, and Microsoft want to kill the password with “Passkey” standard

The standard is being called either a "multi-device FIDO credential" or just a "passkey." Instead of a long string of characters, this new scheme would have the app or website you're logging in to push a request to your phone for authentication. From there, you'd need to unlock the phone, authenticate with some kind of pin or biometric, and then you're on your way.

Instead of a password, devices could look for your phone over Bluetooth.

 

I wonder how secure this will be. When they can't even protect NFC and Car key from being Copied.

I can only agree. We already have phone that got Spyware in them. Now you add bluetooth passkey connection.

People that work for big corporation will end up in trouble if the id get stolen
