Google has also built security keys into Android devices so people can now use phones for their secondary form of authentication. Since most of the users tend to use same passwords for all their Google-linked/backed accounts, it now wants to completely eliminate the use of passwords and its newly launched features like Google Passwords manager, Password import and Security check up will help reduce use of the same credentials across different digital accounts.
