[VERGE] Amazon enables passwordless passkeys on iOS and the web

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Amazon’s rolling out passkey support for its online site and mobile shopping apps.

Customers can log in to Amazon using just their devices’ biometrics and start shopping without the need to enter a password or follow through with two-factor authentication (2FA) through email or text.

Amazon dipped its toes into passkey support earlier this month for its web experience, but it wasn’t ready for primetime yet since the implementation still required a 2FA code and wasn’t enabled for the mobile apps.

Amazon did not provide a timeline for Android app users but did say it’s “coming soon.”

Amazon is the latest company to add passkey support for customers to securely access their accounts without a password.

Just keep in mind that most companies still retain passwords on accounts, so the world won’t be genuinely password-free for a while.
