Why Passkeys Are Replacing Passwords and How to Implement Them for Your Business<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The need for increased online security is real<\/strong> \u2013 this is not a drill. There has been discussion for years about eliminating the need for password and replacing them with something more secure. One way that many sites are working to increase security is by using Passkeys instead of passwords.<\/p>\n

Many of the sites<\/strong> I log into everyday \u2013 are starting to push the use of Passkeys in order to log in. In time, I think most sites will offer the option of Passkeys instead of \u2013 or in addition to strong passwords or Multi-Factor Authorization (MFA).<\/p>\n

What\u2019s a Passkey and how does it work?<\/h3>\n

A passkey<\/strong> is a new, easy way to sign in to your accounts online without having to remember a password. Instead of typing a password, you use something like your fingerprint, face scan, or a device PIN to prove who you are. This makes logging in faster and safer, because passkeys are much harder for hackers to steal or guess.<\/p>\n

Why Use a Passkey?<\/h3>\n

As a business<\/strong> \u2013 I\u2019m noticing a dramatic rise in the number of attempted logins to my business site. I started thinking about how I might implement this new type of security on the admin portion of my own website, so I went looking for some answers.<\/p>\n
