Facebook rolls out passkey support to fight phishing attacks

  • Facebook is introducing passkey support on its mobile app for enhanced security against phishing attacks.
  • Passkeys allow users to log in using fingerprint, face scan, or PIN, making it harder for unauthorized access.
  • Passkeys are more secure than traditional passwords as they can't be stolen or leaked, providing protection against phishing scams.
  • Browser integration with passkeys ensures they only work on genuine domains and not on fake login pages.
  • Meta, Facebook's parent company, plans to launch passkey support on Android and iOS soon, extending to the Messenger app as well.

  • In addition to account logins, passkeys can be used for autofilling payment information on Meta Pay.
