UK rolls out passkeys on GOV.UK One Login

Original: The UK is rolling out passkeys across GOV.UK One Login, bringing phishing-resistant logins to more than 23 million peopl

The UK government is introducing passkey support across GOV.UK One Login, giving more than 23 million users the option of phishing-resistant sign-ins for public services. Over 300,000 people already switched during the trial phase. Passwords are still required for now, with passkeys offered as an additional, more secure login method for accessing government accounts online.

Why now: A major national government adopting passkey authentication is a significant step in the move away from passwords.
