Upgrade to passkeys for your Pixel phone or tablet

Passkeys are an easier and more secure alternative to passwords. You don’t have to manage multiple passwords. Instead, you can sign in on apps or websites with your device the same way that you’d unlock with a PIN, pattern, password or biometrics. Learn more about passkeys.

Not all websites, accounts or apps support passkeys. To find account passwords that you can upgrade to passkeys, follow these steps:

1. Open your device's Settings app.
2. Tap Passwords and accounts.
3. Under Passwords, passkeys and data services, tap Google Google Password Manager.
4. If passkey upgrade opportunities are available, a 'Simplify your sign-in' prompt is displayed.
   • Tap the prompt to find eligible accounts.
5. Choose an account that supports passkeys from the list.
6. Sign in if needed. Then, to create the passkey, follow the app or site's instructions.
7. When prompted, use your screen lock, then enter your PIN, pattern, password or biometrics.

Tip:

• You can also check for passkey upgrade opportunities by opening Google Password Manager and tapping on Password Checkup.
• If a third-party app or website doesn't support passkeys, it doesn't appear in the passkeys recommendations list.
