• Samsung Passkey is expanding support to the company’s smart home devices.
• TV integration begins with 2025 Tizen models.
• Support on other Samsung home appliances should simply setup while enhancing security.

This year’s Samsung Developer Conference might have been a little underwhelming on the phone side, with news of Samsung’s lackadaisical One UI 7 timetable just leaving us feeling bummed out. But to Samsung’s credit, the company’s interested in a whole lot more than just its smartphone platform, and we got to hear plenty of news about the company’s efforts across the rest of the smart home, from Tizen TVs to smartlocks and showers. That includes Samsung expanding Passkey to begin supporting smart home hardware.

Passkeys, as you may be aware, are the new hottness in authentication, replacing easily hacked or forgotten passwords with biometrics tied to cryptographic keys. They’ve already made a big impact on Android, and the latest trend seems to be expanding passkey access across platforms, like we just saw Google up to.
