The retail juggernaut’s latest move might just be the start of a passkey revolution. Good riddance, passwords!

Hot Take:

So, Amazon's decided to jump on the no-password bandwagon, huh? Fancy schmancy passkeys are the new black, it seems. The retail giant is making the switch from the oh-so-yesterday password system to the hip and happening passkeys. I mean, who needs to remember a string of characters when you can just use your face or fingerprint? But hey, don't get too comfy Android users. Looks like you'll have to wait a bit longer to join the party.
