Singpass to roll out passkey logins from Jul 1

Singapore's Singpass digital identity system is rolling out passkey authentication starting tomorrow, July first. According to Channel NewsAsia, passkeys provide stronger security than traditional passwords. Here's the key feature: if your device is lost or stolen, the Singpass app and passkey automatically deactivate when you set up Singpass on a new device. This prevents unauthorized access even if someone gains physical control of the old one. It's a major security upgrade for Singapore's digital identity system.
