For example, users using Android phones can log in to the Safari browser on the Mac to open the Web services, and iPhone users can quickly log in to the Chrome browser to open the page.
For developers’ application needs, Google will provide WebAuthn API authentication mechanism resources, so that users can use mobile devices such as mobile phones, with biometrics or security keys, to establish a Passkeys authentication system in the Chrome browser environment, and can be tested through Google Play services version, and the Chrome Canary development version for testing and verification.
The official version will be officially launched later this year, and in the future, it will make it easier for Android operating system or Chrome browser users to log in to various Internet services.
