The myGov passkey push across the Australian population will pave the way for IT leaders to adopt this more secure form of authentication in the private sector as public awareness and education rise. This could minimise the risk of phishing and elevate cyber security for Australian businesses.
Because passkeys utilise biometric data like fingerprint scans or facial recognition, along with a cryptographic authentication key on a device to authenticate users, the Australian government hopes to prevent people from using phishable passwords, while providing a better digital experience.
