Why passkeys
The password problem persists, but the solution is accelerating
Despite years of warnings from security experts, passwords remain the Achilles’ heel of digital security. According to Dashlane data, the average person now manages 301 passwords across their personal and work accounts. Yet, credential abuse remains the most common initial attack vector.1 For CISOs and IT leaders, the problem is clear: The authentication method designed to protect users has become their greatest liability.
“The FIDO Alliance’s own data shows that passkeys significantly reduce sign-in time and have a much higher success rate compared to other authentication methods, meaning customers are able to get to the checkout cart more easily.”
