Unlock the Benefits and Challenges of Passwordless Authentication
Watch NowPasskeys are a new way to sign in without passwords. With Touch ID and Face ID, passkeys are more secure and easier to use than passwords and any current two-factor authentication methods.
Passkeys are a new way to sign in without passwords. With Touch ID and Face ID, passkeys are more secure and easier to use than passwords and any current two-factor authentication methods.
Based on industry standards for account authentication, passkeys are easier to use than passwords and far more secure. Adopt passkeys to give people a simple, secure way to sign in to your apps and websites across platforms — with no passwords required.
Passkeys are a safer and easier replacement for passwords. With passkeys, users can sign in to apps and websites with a biometric sensor (such as a fingerprint or facial recognition), PIN, or pattern, freeing them from having to remember and manage passwords.
Did you know that May 5, 2022, is World Password Day? 1 Created by cybersecurity professionals in 2013 and designated as the first Thursday every May, World Password Day is meant to foster good password habits that help keep our online lives secure. It might seem strange to have a day set aside to honor so.

Realtime Passkeys updates
Technology releases, sites implementing Passkeys and more
Some innovative brands, in various industries from e-commerce to travel, have already implemented passkeys on their websites. Here are a few such top brands:
Security
Passkeys provide users a passwordless sign-in experience that is both more convenient and more secure. In a sense, Passkeys are similar to MFA, it's a combination of something you have and something you are (your Face ID or Fingerprint). Different from passwords, Passkeys are resistant to phishing, are always strong, and they are not shared or stored on different databases. When a user sets up a passkey, a key is generated and synchronized to the cloud. When the user connects from another device in the same ecosystem, it will use the same key. Each time a passkey is being authenticated, a unique signature is generated, which expires within minutes.

How does it work?
The passkeys are based on both W3C and FIDO standards and use public-key cryptography. Instead of relying on passwords, they use key pairs, which improve the underlying security. When a user needs to register an account on a website or an app, The device generates a new unique key pair. The system saves the public key on the application server and since it's the public half of the pair; it doesn’t require protection. The device keeps the private key, which is being used when the user signs-in to the application.
