As the first-ever World Passkey Day replaces the traditional World Password Day, Microsoft joins the FIDO Alliance in celebrating a milestone achievement: over 15 billion online accounts now have access to passwordless authentication through passkeys.
This significant shift marks a turning point in digital security as the tech industry moves decisively away from vulnerable password-based systems.
“The establishment and growth of World Passkey Day reflects the fact that organizations of all shapes and sizes are taking action upon the imperative to move away from relying on passwords and other legacy authentication methods,” said Andrew Shikiar, Executive Director and CEO of the FIDO Alliance.
