The changes relate to the use of the WebAuthn standard, which allows you to log into your account using your face or fingerprint.
It is important that all biometric data remains on the user’s device and is not transferred to third parties.
Developers claim that the standard used provides a high level of security and privacy; attackers will not be able to duplicate or forge the key.
To benefit from the new features, you need to create a key, then log in to your Yandex ID account and go to the “Login with face or fingerprint” section. A user can have up to 10 keys for different devices, providing flexibility and ease of use.
