Facebook is now more secure using Passkey!

Do you get tired of trying to remember all your different passwords? Or maybe you worry about the bad guys getting ahold of your password? Well, we have some great news for you!

Facebook has introduced a wonderful new feature called a “passkey” in June 2025.

What’s a Passkey?

Think of it like using your own unique key to unlock your front door instead of a code that someone else could guess. A passkey uses your face, your fingerprint, or the PIN code you already use for your smartphone or tablet to prove it’s really you. It’s a much simpler and safer way to log in.

What Does This Mean for You?

• No More Remembering Passwords: You won’t have to type in your long, complicated Facebook password anymore. Just a quick scan of your face or touch of your finger, and you’re in!

• It’s Much Safer: Because it uses your unique fingerprint or face, it’s nearly impossible for scammers or hackers to get into your account. This is a big step up in keeping your photos, messages, and personal information safe.

• Super Easy to Use: If you can unlock your phone, you can use a passkey. It’s that simple.

This new feature is now being rolled out for the Facebook app on both Apple and Android phones. So, the next time you open Facebook, keep an eye out for a prompt to set up your passkey.

It’s a small change that makes a big difference in making your online life easier and more secure. Happy Facebooking!
