Amazon has quietly rolled out support for passkeys as it becomes the latest tech giant to join the passwordless future. What’s more, if you’ve set up a passkey but previously set up two-factor authentication (2FA), Amazon will still prompt you to enter a one-time verification code when logging in, a move Delitz said was "redundant," since passkeys remove the need for 2FA as they are stored on your device.
