In recent years, developers have been the targets of multiple attacks due to their access to sensitive systems.  As the tech giants have begun their collaboration on making the user experience of passwordless better, users still need to register across all their devices. The solution to this is passkeys that allow users to easily and securely access passwordless systems across all devices. The FIDO2 Authentication standards are based on public key cryptography for authentication that is more secure than passwords and SMS one-time passwords. FIDO2 Authentication enables password-only logins to be replaced with secure and fast login experiences across websites and apps.
