Google offers users a new type of authentication

Google is working to improve user security and is introducing a new type of authentication that

uses biometric data or hardwaretoken to verify the identity of the user. Unlike traditional passwords, which are susceptible to phishing threats, the new system is more secure and easier to use. Authentication requires a biometric feature such as a fingerprint or face unlock. The new password support system is already live on Android and iOS platforms, it is not automatically enabled and requires the user to choose this additional level of protection in their account. If you select it in the future, the user will not need to use complex passwords for access, but it will be enough to use an access key, which makes it possible to access without a password.
