Password-based authentication is vulnerable to phishing, credential leaks, and reuse while also providing a poor user experience.
Passkeys eliminate password-related risks and frustrations, offering strong security and effortless logins. Businesses benefit from reduced fraud, fewer support requests, and a smoother user experience—leading to greater trust and engagement.
They are the better way to sign in. Based on FIDO Alliance and W3C standards, passkeys use cryptographic key pairs. Passkeys allow your users to sign in securely to your apps the same way they unlock their devices: with a fingerprint, a face scan, or a screen lock PIN.
Passkeys are never stored with third parties and always kept on your users’ devices. Unlike passwords, passkeys are safe from phishing, even if the device is stolen. Password management becomes obsolete since passkeys use autofill and prompts biometric verification on your chosen device.
Passkeys streamline the sign-in process by eliminating the need to remember or reset passwords. With built-in biometric authentication and autofill, users can access their accounts quickly and securely. This seamless experience reduces friction, enhances security, and makes logging in effortless across devices.
