On August 12, Google (GOOGL) unveiled a new login system that doesn’t require passwords, FIDO2-based local user verification. According to the tech giant, passwords are lagging behind new security technology, and hackers can easily obtain them.

In association with W3C and the FIDO Alliance, Google has built a more secure and simpler system of authentication through Android smartphones’ fingerprint sensor. On its blog, the company wrote, “An important benefit of using FIDO2 versus interacting with the native fingerprint APIs on Android is that these biometric capabilities are now, for the first time, available on the web, allowing the same credentials be used by both native apps and web services.”
