What is Passkeys?
Passkeys are a passwordless way to log in that use strong cryptography instead of passwords. Instead of typing a password, you unlock your device with a fingerprint, face scan, or PIN to prove who you are. In identity management, passkeys make logins safer and easier. They cannot be phished, work across devices and browsers, and are built on open standards like FIDO2 and WebAuthn. This means users get a seamless, secure login experience without the hassle of remembering passwords.
