Goodbye to passwords? New authentication standard advances

Google, Apple, and Microsoft are driving the adoption of Passkeys, a more secure and easier way to log in without having to remember complex passwords.

The future of authentication is passwordless. Big tech companies like Google, Apple, and Microsoft are accelerating the implementation of "Passkeys," a login standard based on FIDO (Fast Identity Online) technology.

They use public-key cryptography. Your device (phone, computer) stores a secure private key, and the website stores a public key. Authentication is done using biometrics (fingerprint, face) or the device PIN, eliminating the need for phishing-vulnerable passwords.

• * Increased Security: Resistant to phishing attacks and database leaks.
• * Easier: No passwords to create, remember, or manage.
• * Interoperable: Works between different devices and operating systems.

While adoption will be gradual, Passkeys represent a major step toward a more secure and convenient internet. (Check to see if your favorite services already support Passkeys.)
