The National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) advocates for the use of password managers and passkeys to bolster digital authentication security. In their guidance, the NCSC emphasizes the importance of first-party, browser-based password managers, highlighting their security integration into platforms. While issues with password managers have raised concerns, NCSC notes they employ secure storage methods like encryption. Passkeys also emerged as a passwordless authentication method leveraging public-key cryptography, supported by tech leaders. This innovative system promises a secure and user-friendly experience for web authentication.
The use of password managers and passkeys is urged by the NCSC as an essential step towards improving digital security and authentication standards.
Password managers enhance security through device features or encryption, while new passkey standards provide a seamless, passwordless login option, backed by major tech companies.
