The UK government is rolling out passkey technology to 23 million GOV.UK One Login users, marking a major upgrade to how people access public services online.

Passkeys are designed to reduce reliance on traditional passwords by allowing users to authenticate through methods such as biometrics, device security features or PINs.

The technology is expected to make government accounts more resistant to phishing, password theft and other common cyber threats, while making digital access simpler for millions of people.

The rollout represents another major step in the UK's development of secure digital public services, as more government interactions move online.
