- Facebook will soon scroll Paskers to Facebook on Mobile Devices
- Baskeyer offers greater security and lighter login than passwords
- Paskys for Messenger will also be available soon
Meta has introduced Passkey Support to Facebook on Mobile Devices, which will reduce the chance of someone hacking into your account.
Instead of using a clumsy and slightly guessed password to log in, you can now use a fingerprint, face or pin to verify that you are logging into your account.
Better still is that spases are often faster to use than passwords, which means your entire Facebook experience should be even easier.
Facebook gets spases
Passpiece for Facebook on iOS and Android Mobile devices “will soon be available”, said Meta, with padkey for Messenger, which should also be released in the “coming months.”
Pakkeys are a much more elastic alternative to passwords and disposable codes as they cannot be stolen and are much less susceptible to malicious sites that want to steal your login information such as typo-quatting domains. They can also be a good alternative to using a password administrator that requires constant back and forth between apps to enter your password.
Your passpeak is stored locally on your device, which means Meta does not have access to it. An unfortunate disadvantage of parcelyer is that if you lose your mobile device that is hiding your Passkey, it can be a bit of a hassle to get back into your account and create a new Passkey.
Meta also announced that Pakkeyer will also be used to verify payments through Meta Pay, and will soon also be used to protect your encrypted message backups when Passkey’s for Messenger arrives.
To configure a Pasky, go to the Settings menu on the Facebook app and then click Accounting Center → Password and security → Baskey. If there are a bags, Facebook may even ask you to configure one next time you log in.
