India, June 20 -- Meta has announced the rollout of passkeys on Facebook for iOS and Android devices, offering users a new way to sign in using the fingerprint, facial recognition or PIN already set up on their smartphones.

"Passkeys will soon be available on iOS and Android mobile devices for Facebook, and we will begin rolling out passkeys to Messenger in the coming months," revealed Meta in an official announcement.

Passkeys offer a passwordless login method that uses your phone's built-in authentication tools such as fingerprint, facial recognition or a device PIN to verify identity. The credentials are stored locally on the device rather than on servers, making them more secure and resistant to phishing and other cyberattacks.
