Passwords are the most used method of authentication, but they are also one of the weakest. Passwords are often easy to guess or steal. This makes them vulnerable to cyber-attacks.
61% of all data breaches involve stolen or hacked login credentials. But in recent years a better solution has emerged - passkeys.
What is Passkey Authentication?
Passkeys work by generating a unique code for each login attempt. This code generates using information about the user and the device they are using to loin. You can think of passkeys as digital credentials. A passkey allows someone to authenticate in a cloud service without needing to enter a username and password.
