GOOGLE'S NEW LOGIN METHOD
Google is rolling out a new way to log in to your accounts called passkeys. As opposed to typing in a password, a passkey is a digital token that is stored on your devices and allows you to automatically sign in. Experts say passkeys are less vulnerable to phishing attacks or hacks, and are overall a more secure way to log in. If you want to check it out for yourself, after logging in the old-fashioned way, you can click the option "add a passkey."
