A passkey asks your phone to prove it is the phone you registered, so there is no password to type. This 777JILI page explains what a passkey is, where passkeys are kept, and which accounts can use one. It belongs to the wider set of browser settings on your phone, where a passkey is the strongest sign-in check you can switch on.
What a passkey is and what it replaces
Apple’s security page says “Passkeys are a replacement for passwords”, and that they are “resistant to phishing, are always strong, and are designed so that there are no shared secrets”. The mechanism is a key pair. The public key sits with the website, and the private key stays on your device. FIDO describes a passkey as a credential you can store “on your phone or computer, or in a hardware security key”, used to sign in to apps and websites “with the same process” people already use on their device.
| Property | Password | Passkey |
|---|---|---|
| Who holds the secret | You and the website | Your device only holds the private key |
| Can you read it aloud | Yes | Google says passkeys “can’t be shared, copied, written down” |
| Made by | You | Your own device, for every account |
| Typed on a look-alike page | Yes, if you are fooled | Works only on the registered site |
Passkeys and passkey sync on iPhone and Android
Both major phone platforms save passkeys in their own store, which is why a new phone can keep them.
| Where it is kept | Syncs through | Source |
|---|---|---|
| iPhone | iCloud Keychain, “end-to-end encrypted” | Apple |
| Android and Chrome | Google Password Manager, across devices signed in to the same Google account | Google developer page |
| Hardware security key | The key itself | FIDO |
Apple’s sign-in page says a passkey is saved “to your iPhone and iCloud Keychain”. Google’s developer page adds that a nearby phone can sign in a laptop. For Chrome on iPhone, Google has a separate page on managing passkeys; search “passkeys” in Chrome’s settings to find it.
What you need before a passkey works
Google’s passkey page lists two requirements, and each is quick to check.
- A phone that runs “Android 9, iOS 16, or up”.
- “Chrome 109 or up” if you sign in from Chrome. Google’s 2-Step Verification page adds that you sign in with a passkey using your fingerprint, face scan or device screen lock, like a PIN. If a requirement fails, update first with the software update routine or search “Software Update” in Settings.
Which accounts on your phone can use a passkey
A passkey only works where the account’s owner has added support. Check an account in three steps.
- Open the account’s security or sign-in settings and look for the word “passkey”.
- If it is missing, search “Passwords” in your phone’s Settings to see what is already saved.
- If nothing is saved, keep using a password manager for that account.
Google’s pages cover signing in to a Google Account, and Apple’s pages cover creating one for a website or app in Safari. Neither lists every site.
One practical point comes from Google’s 2-Step Verification page: when you create a passkey for your Google Account, you opt in to a passkey-first, password-less sign-in by default. You can change that preference in your account settings if you prefer your password first.
Passkeys against a look-alike page
Picture a message with a link to a page that uses a familiar casino name and asks for your login. A password can be typed into it. A passkey cannot, because Google’s developer page says “a user cannot be tricked into authenticating on a deceptive site because the browser or OS handles verification”.
The account only offers a password
Let a password manager that checks the address fill it in, and add a second step with an authenticator app for one-time codes. Never read the code to anyone who messages you first.
You changed phones and the passkey is missing
Sign in to the same Apple Account or Google Account on the new phone. Apple says passkeys sync across a user’s devices using iCloud Keychain, and Google says Google Password Manager syncs them between devices signed in to one account.

FAQ
What is a passkey in simple words?
FIDO's page calls it an authentication credential based on FIDO standards that you can keep on your phone or computer, or on a hardware security key, and use to sign in with the same process you use to open the device itself.
Do passkeys work on a look-alike website?
Google's developer page says passkeys work only on their registered websites and apps, so a deceptive site cannot trigger them. Check the address bar anyway.
Anong phone ang kailangan para sa passkey?
Google's passkey sign-in page asks for a phone that runs Android 9, iOS 16 or up, and Chrome 109 or up. If your phone is older, search Software Update in Settings.
