Passkeys are easier to use than many traditional authentication methods. They are also resistant to phishing, which allows users to consistently and securely log in to supported websites. The passwordless technology, first introduced in 2022, is based on industry standards from the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and the FIDO Alliance and is supported by Apple, Google, Microsoft, Paypal, eBay and others.
