PayPal introduces passkey functionality in the United States to facilitate logins and checkouts

PayPal has begun to roll out passkeys to US customers on the same day as Apple introduces the technology to its PCs and tablets with macOS Ventura and iPadOS16. That means you’ll be able to enter your PayPal account without having to key in your credentials, making checking out your online shopping baskets faster. PayPal says the option will first be accessible to iPhone, iPad, and Mac users, but it will be expanded to other platforms as they add support for the technology. Google introduced preliminary passkey support for Android and Chrome earlier this month, and the stable version, as well as an API for native Android applications, will be available later this year. Passkeys will also be accessible in other nations beginning in early 2023, according to PayPal.
