Nowadays, we all want to keep our online information safe, but sometimes remembering different passwords for each website or answering personal questions can be really tough. Guess what? There’s a cooler and easier way to keep things secure: using parts of your body that are unique to you, like your fingerprints or your face, which are called biometrics, and something called passkeys.

Rather than having to remember complex passwords or answer questions about your favorite color or your first pet’s name, which is what Knowledge-Based Authentication (KBA) asks for, using biometrics and passkeys means you just have to show something about yourself or have your device confirm it’s really you.

Here’s how it works: when you want to log in somewhere, you could place your finger on a scanner, look into a camera, or have your device make sure it’s in your hands. That’s pretty neat, right? And it’s not just about the cool factor; it’s also about being safer and protecting your private stuff at the same time. Plus, it’s so much easier than trying to remember which letter was supposed to be capitalized or if you added an exclamation point at the end of your password.
