Why are passkeys the future?
The weak passwords problem
Password-based authentication presents a variety of security concerns. Hackers can crack weak and simple passwords, databases that store them can be breached, and a lot of people reuse passwords across multiple accounts, which essentially means that a bad actor needs to hack only one of your accounts to get access to them all. With 80% of breaches attributed to weak or stolen passwords, it’s obvious that we have a serious password problem. But we also have a way to solve it.
The passkey solution
Passkeys are digital credentials that are created by your device and they are the solution to the password problem. Unlike traditional passwords, passkeys are invisible to the user and are never revealed or entered manually – they are usually used in combination with biometric data. With passkeys, you’ll be able to access your accounts instantly with a single click. You’ll never have to remember or enter your credentials again.
