How Passkeys Work: Let's Start The Passkey Registration Process
ZDNET, Thursday, July 10th, 2025
Your passkey journey can be a strange and inconsistent ordeal. But it doesn't have to be this way.
Previously on our passkey journey, I talked about the challenge of figuring out if a relying party -- typically, the operator of a website or app -- even offers the ability to sign in with a passkey instead of the more traditional and less secure username and password-based approach.
Some of the biggest relying parties in the world -- including Apple, Google, and Microsoft -- support passkeys as a means of passwordless authentication. Together, these tech giants can introduce billions of global users to the phishing and smishing-resistant technology.
