Tesla app version 4.61.0 introduces passkey support, allowing users to bypass traditional passwords for biometric login. This security upgrade is now rolling out on both iOS and Android, offering a phishing-resistant alternative to standard credential entry.

  • According to notateslaapp.com, the passkey feature relies on cryptographic keys stored locally on the device, making it resistant to phishing attacks because no text password is transmitted. The report also notes that Android users can expect similar functionality using fingerprint authentication and Google's credential management.
