Future Of Authentication: What Enterprises Need To Know About Passkeys
IDC, Friday, March 22nd, 2024
If I told you the single most effective step your business could take to improve cybersecurity is to stop using passwords, you might think I'm crazy. It's sort of like saying that the best way to make your car faster is to remove the tires, or that swearing off vegetables is key to losing weight.
But the reality is that by many measures, passwords are past their prime. There's a better solution - passkeys - and organizations looking for ways to optimize their security stances would do well to consider passkey-based authentication in contexts where it makes sense.
That said, passkeys remain subject to a variety of challenges, which make it unrealistic for most businesses to shift entirely to passkey-based logins in the near future.
