== Why use Passkeys? ==

We've seen big changes in online security in the past few years. MFA (aka 2-step authentication), has seen a massive increase in the security of our systems, requiring both your password, and a "second factor" such as your phone which pretty effectively stops bad actors from accessing your accounts.

~~== What~~ are ~~Passkeys? ==~~

The next evolution of online security is '''passkeys, a replacement for passwords that are designed to provide websites and apps a password-less sign-in experience that is both more convenient and more secure'''.

== ~~How do I configure and use~~ Passkeys at Riverdale? ==

== Configure Passkeys at Riverdale ==

It's easy to setup Passkeys within your Riverdale Google Account, and then anytime you need to "logon with Google" your Passkey will be available right in your browser!

# Start by logging into [https://mail.google.com/ '''''Google using your Riverdale Account'''''] ''on the computer you bring to school''

# Open the [https://myaccount.google.com/security '''''Security settings'''''] page

# Click '''''Passkeys and security keys'''''

# Click '''''+ Create a Passkey''''' and follow the directions

When done, you will no longer be asked to provide a password to logon to Google, but instead supply the Passkey stored on your computer as part of the setup above. If you are using a password manager (strongly recommended!) then that passkey can be available on your other devices as well.

== Where else can I use Passkeys? ==
