Amazon quietly rolls out support for passkeys, with a catch
Reading Time: < 1 minutesAmazon has quietly rolled out support for passkeys as it becomes the latest tech giant to join the passwordless future. But you still might have to hold onto your Amazon password for a little while longer.
The option to set up a passkey is now available on the e-commerce giant’s website, allowing users to log in using biometric authentication on their device, such as their fingerprint or face scan. Doing so makes it far more difficult for bad actors to remotely access users’ accounts, given that the attacker also needs physical access to the user’s device.
But Amazon’s implementation of passkeys isn’t without issues, as noted by Vincent Delitz, co-founder of German tech startup Corbado, who first documented the arrival of passkey support on Amazon.
Amazon says on its website: ‘You will still need to verify a one-time code after signing in with the passkey,’ but does not explain why.
The arrival of passkeys on Amazon lands as WhatsApp announced that it’s rolling out support for passkeys to all Android users, and just days after Google said it planned to make passkeys the default sign-in method for all Google Account holders. GitHub, Windows 11, TikTok and 1Password have all rolled out support for passkeys.
