The article discusses the transition to a passwordless authentication model driven by organizations like the FIDO Alliance, with support from major tech players. The shift aims to mitigate risks associated with password theft, as recent years have seen a surge in phishing attacks. Passkeys will replace traditional user IDs and passwords, streamlining access while enhancing security. The technology is evolving, with operating systems and web browsers adapting to support this new method. The article underscores the importance of preparedness for this impending change, highlighting the need for users to adapt to a password-free online experience.
Passkeys are not passwords. If we're getting rid of passwords, shouldn't we also get rid of the phrase "password manager"?
The tech industry has been quietly making adjustments to operating systems and web browsers to enable this highly automated passwordless future.
One of the big ideas behind passkeys is to keep us users from behaving as our own worst enemies.
If there aren't passwords to supply to legitimate websites and apps, the FIDO Alliance figures there won't be passwords to give to the malicious actors either.
