Summary

The concept of passkeys is being promoted as a solution to the problems associated with traditional passwords, such as security breaches and user fatigue. Passkeys are a form of authentication that can replace or augment passwords, offering inherent security advantages due to their decentralized nature. Many major companies, including Microsoft, Apple, Google, Facebook, LinkedIn, Best Buy, Nintendo, Shopify, and others, have rolled out support for passkeys since 2022, leading to increased adoption and improved product experiences. The transition to passkeys is seen as a way to eliminate friction and password fatigue, making it easier for users to log in without having to remember passwords. A free webinar is being hosted to discuss the benefits, use cases, and future of passkeys, which will cover their applications in 2024 and beyond.
