Passkeys: A password-less future with Jetpack Credential Manager
summary
Passkeys use public/private keys with the private key stored on-device and biometric or PIN unlock to sign transactions, the public key sent to the server; this replaces passwords and offers built-in MFA. Chrome already supports passkeys, surveys show 58% of US shoppers abandon purchases over password hassle and 68% find passkeys easier. An alpha of Jetpack Credential Manager exists now, beta arrives before the Android 14 release, and the API unifies passwords, federated sign‑ins and passkeys synced via Google Password Manager under Android 14 launch.
