Google recently announced that they will be introducing biometric passkeys to Chrome and Androids devices, ultimately to replace traditional passwords to access data and content.
Google says that biometric passkeys are absolutely more safer and secure than the conventional password, and other anti-phishing authentication tools.
The tech giant says that this biometric data will never leave the person’s device and that these new protocols stymie information shared with sites from being used for tracking.
For the end-user, creating a passkey requires just two steps: (1) confirm the passkey account information, and (2) present their fingerprint, face, or screen lock when prompted.
Signing in is just as simple: (1) The user selects the account they want to sign in to, and (2) presents their fingerprint, face, or screen lock when prompted.
Google explained
However, because of Google’s synchronization function, these passkeys can be saved in its password manager which then can be used for different Android and Chrome devices.
For example, an Android user can now sign into a passkey-enabled site using Safari on a Mac.
We have worked with others in the industry, including Apple and Microsoft, and members within the FIDO Alliance and the W3C to drive secure authentication standards for years. We have shipped support for W3C WebAuthn and FIDO standards since their inception.
Google remains committed to a world where users can choose where their passwords, and now passkeys, are stored.
We will continue to do our part for a passwordless future.

[16] And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: [17] And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. [18] Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.Revelation 13:16-18
This is a necessary step towards the mark of the beast system. Since passwords can be readily hacked and stolen, and a sublevel hacker can get past basic security defenses, the artificial “solution” to the problem are biometrics. This whole puh for biometrics, once truly established, will still not work and be littered with problems; hence, opening the door for the actual mark of the beast to be introduced and accepted by the masses.
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

I’m worried about something: at Wendy’s in order to clock in and clock out, I need to use my fingerprint, hopefully I’m not in sin and I need the job because I have been unemployed since February 2022 and it wasn’t until September of this year that I finally found work.
