A new mode of national authentication initially rolled out to iPhone users has now been extended to Android phone users. National authentication system Singpass’ new passkey feature aims to foil phishing scams that have led to millions in losses by ensuring access is granted only to legitimate websites. It works through a unique pair of encryption keys one residing on the user’s phone and the other on Singpass’ backend server for every website that is integrated with the national authentication system.Android users need to update their Singpass app, tap the “create passkey” banner and follow the on-screen instructions provided to enable passkeys. What is your take on the new method ?
