You can now log in to Yandex ID without a password - see the picture
Miscellaneous / / November 01, 2023
In Yandex ID appeared a new way of passwordless authorization in the company’s services - using a picture via Yandex Key.
It works like this: when logging into an account, an illustration appears on the user’s screen. After this, you need to go to the “Key” application on your phone and select the same one among the four proposed options. Each time a new set is shown.
This method is as secure as using one-time passwords or QR codes, the company noted. The security system protects your account from hacking and theft of personal information, and if suspicious activity is detected, it restricts login.
For now, the new feature is only available when logging in using the “Password + One-time Password” combination. You can change the authorization method in the “Yandex ID” settings in the “Security” section.
