How do I delete a passkey in my Google account?

To delete a passkey in your Google account, you need to access your sign-in settings and remove the specific passkey you no longer want to use.

Here are the steps to remove a passkey from your Google account:

Steps to Remove a Google Passkey

Follow these simple steps to manage your passkeys:

1. Go to your Google Account settings. You can typically find this by searching for "Google Account" or navigating to myaccount.google.com.
2. In your Google Account settings, look for the section related to security or sign-in options.
3. Under "How you sign in to Google," tap Passkeys and security keys. This section lists all the passkeys and security keys associated with your account.
4. Review the list of passkeys. Select the passkey you want to remove. You might see a list with names or details about when and where the passkey was created (e.g., "Passkey on this device").
5. Once you have selected the passkey, look for an option to "Remove," "Delete," or a trash can icon.
6. Confirm that you want to delete the passkey when prompted.

Deleting a passkey removes its association with your Google account, meaning you will no longer be able to use that specific passkey to sign in.

Why Delete a Passkey?

You might want to delete a passkey if:

• You no longer use the device where the passkey was stored.
• You created a duplicate passkey by mistake.
• You want to manage the list of passkeys for security reasons.

Deleting a passkey is a quick process that helps keep your account sign-in options organized and secure.
