but with passkeys, it's all done on a device and with clever encryption. setting up a passkey takes a few minutes. the online service asks you to verify your identity using your device. it's not hard, but it is more of a hassle than setting up a username and password like we've always done. so why is this huge shift taking place and is it worth it? well, it's because passwords are, and always have been, a terrible way to keep us safe. corrie macy is a hacker for the good guys. she's been breaking into computer networks for companies for years to help them improve defences. people are really bad when they create passwords. nine out of ten times when i go into an environment and i try the password "summer2023" or "winter2023" — you're going to get a few accounts. we find that people frequently use seated passwords — that's the first password that they made and, then, across every platform, they'lljust change it a very minuscule amount. passwords can, of course, be made more secure.

like we are filling in endless passwords, inevitably forgetting them and having to think up new ones as a result — but could that soon be a thing of the past? major tech and internet firms have started turning to passkeys — a no—password solution which uses biometrics or device pins to protect our accounts online. our cyber correspondent joe tidy can tell us more. pass key. you may not yet have heard of them, but passkeys are the future of how we stay safe online. dozens of internet businesses, large and small, are hoping this new bit of tech will finally kill off the password. so what are passkeys and why are they a step up from what we've been doing all these years? well, if you think about an online service as a door, you get in by putting in your password or a passcode. but this is obviously insecure as all a fraudster needs is the code or password and they're in. a passkey acts a little bit like a key card. it checks who i am as well as if i have the right code.

corrie macy is a hacker for the good guys. she's been breaking into computer networks for companies for years to help them improve defences. people are really bad when they create passwords. nine out of ten times when i go into an environment and i try the password "summer2023" or "winter2023" — you're going to get a few accounts. we find that people frequently use seated passwords — that's the first password that they made and, then, across every platform, they'lljust change it a very minuscule amount. passwords can, of course, be made more secure. my password manager needs an authentication code. it's no surprise that the cybersecurity world has largely failed to get the general public to jump through the hoops needed to make passwords safe. so, now, whether we like it or not, the future of logging in online is through our phones with thumbprints, pin codes and, increasingly, facial id. no system will ever fully be hacker—proof, but passkeys do mean

snow showers and possible disruption for some of us. we are updated, we know, we are warned, it is good. it can feel you spend a lot of your time online. and it can feel you are constantly filling in passwords and then you forget them and you think of new ones. and then you forget them again because you are told not to store them in certain places so you end up forgetting. do you do that? a lot of people have one password. do not do that. that is a bad thing. major tech and internet firms have started turning to passkeys — a no—password solution. which uses biometrics or device pins to protect our accounts online. that needs some explaining. our cyber correspondent, joe tidy, can tell us more. pass key. passkey. passkeys. you may not yet have heard of them, but passkeys are the future of how

amazing, brilliant! mine is not too different to that! joe, thank you very much indeed for that. if you want to read more about cyber security, you can go on to the bbc website. there is plenty there. no passwords given away, but a bit of advice about how to make yours more secure. hello. we've got a window of slightly less—cold weather for the next couple of days. we didn't see such widespread ice and frost around this morning — certainly compared to earlier in the week. so still quite chilly and cloudy for many of us, but temperatures not as low as they have been. so high pressure holding onto our weather. the winds rotating, coming in off the atlantic and the north sea, so bringing quite a lot of moisture and that's bringing that blanket of cloud for most of us. clearer skies today will be across scotland. there could be the odd lingering misty patch around there. so temperatures only about 2—4 degrees across scotland,
