From passwords to passkeys
Over the last 10 years, the FIDO Alliance has been championing a new and open standard to rid the world of passwords. According to the U.S. Government’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), FIDO is now considered the “gold standard” of multi-factor authentication (MFA).
The next major FIDO milestone has come into effect with the launch of passkeys. Passkeys are already being enabled and supported by the major platform vendors Apple, Google and Microsoft. Passkeys are much easier to use than usernames and passwords. They aren’t typed or remembered and can be easily recovered, eliminating much of the password reset frustrations and costs.
And passkeys are phishing-resistant and cannot be hacked and stolen en masse like usernames and passwords.
