What Are Passkeys?
Passkeys are a password-less authentication method designed to enhance security and improve user experience. Developed by the FIDO Alliance in collaboration with Apple, Google, and Microsoft, passkeys replace traditional passwords with a more secure and phishing-resistant alternative.
Key Benefits of Passkeys:
No More Passwords – No need to remember complex passwords.
Phishing-Resistant – Passkeys are tied to specific websites, preventing credential theft.
Biometric Authentication – Use fingerprint or face recognition for secure access.
Multi-Device Support – Easily syncs across devices via cloud storage (e.g., iCloud Keychain, Google Password Manager)
Stronger Security – Uses public-key encryption to protect your credentials.
Built-in Multi-Factor Security – Uses a mix of what you have (device), who you are (biometrics), or what you know (password) for extra protection.
How Do Passkeys Work?
Passkey Creation – When setting up a passkey, your device generates a unique public-private key pair.
Secure Storage – The private key remains securely stored on your device. And can be synced using your cloud account (e.g., iCloud Keychain, Google Password Manager).
Login Authentication – When you log in, the app or website sends a challenge. Your device signs it locally using your private key and returns a secure response for verification.
Verification – The website/app verifies the signed response using the stored public key. If the signature is valid, access is granted.
