Is it time to switch from Passwords to more secure Passkeys?

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.
