After iPhone, X is introducing passkey facility for Android phones as well

You can enter your X (formerly Twitter) account using โ€˜passkeyโ€™ instead of the traditional password on Android phones. X has also started working on the passkey facility for Android phones. Although X has not made any official announcement in this regard, after reviewing the code of the small blog writing site, the passkey facility will be launched for Android users soon, said a blogger named โ€˜Assembledebugโ€™.

Last January, X introduced the option of using passcodes instead of written passwords for iPhone and iPad users. With Passkey technology, the userโ€™s fingerprint or face is already stored online. As a result, various websites and apps can be accessed, including unlocking the phone using a fingerprint or Face ID. As a result, hackers cannot easily access usersโ€™ accounts and collect information.

When this new facility is introduced, Android phone users, like iPhone and iPad users, will not need to remember the password while accessing their X account. The use of Face ID and Touch ID in the passkey system will make X Account more secure than it is now.

Note that in passkey systems, user identification, such as a fingerprint or screen lock pin, is essentially connected to all devices via the cloud. Cryptographic passkeys can be adapted (synchronized) to all devices via the cloud. As a result, the device can be unlocked using a fingerprint or screen lock pin, as well as access specific websites or app accounts.
