Passkeys & Biometric Authentication
The End of Passwords Has Arrived!
Passkeys are the modern replacement for passwords created by Apple, Google, Microsoft, and the FIDO Alliance.
How Passkeys Work
Instead of creating a password, a Passkey generates a unique public-private cryptographic keypair for every site:
- Public Key: Stored on the website's server.
- Private Key: Stored securely inside your device's Secure Enclave / TPM chip or password manager.
To log in, you simply use Touch ID, Face ID, Windows Hello, or your device PIN!
Advantages of Passkeys
- No Password to Remember or Type.
- Impossible to Phish.
- No Shared Secrets stored on servers that can leak in data breaches.
- Synced Securely across your devices via iCloud Keychain, Google Password Manager, or Bitwarden.
