Traditional username and password authentication is vulnerable to password reuse, phishing, and social engineering attacks. Passwordless authentication eliminates the password as an attack vector, delivering phishing-resistant security with passkeys, WebAuthn, and one-time codes.
Passwordless security that eliminates attack vectors
Passwords are the most exploited attack vector — reuse, phishing, and credential stuffing all start there. Passwordless authentication removes the password entirely, closing the vector that drives most account takeovers.
Passkey Authentication
Let users sign in with the biometrics already on their devices. No passwords to forget, reset, or phish. Passkeys are phishing-resistant by design and sync securely across a user's devices.
Email & SMS One-Time Codes
Best-practice email and SMS one-time passcode (OTP) login, optimized for every device across desktop, tablet, and mobile. The fastest passwordless method to roll out to an existing user base.
WebAuthn Authentication
Built on the WebAuthn standard, users register and log in with public-key cryptography instead of a shared secret, the open standard underpinning passkeys and hardware security keys.
Go passwordless in minutes
Turn on passwordless authentication with a switch in the built-in Ory Account Experience, or wire it into your own UI with the API and SDKs for Go, JavaScript, PHP, and more.

The case for device binding: what it actually protects
Most authentication proves someone holds the right credential, not which device they're holding it on. Device binding (also called device authentication) closes that gap: a private key generated in a phone's secure hardware, attested by Apple or Google, and used for step-up approval or full passwordless login via PIN or biometrics.
