The UK government is launching passkey technology this year to improve security across its digital services, offering a more convenient alternative to complex passwords. Citizens will soon be able to securely log into government websites like HM Revenue & Customs and NHS using cryptographic keys stored on their devices. This initiative follows recent concerns over password vulnerabilities, exacerbated by cyber attacks on major retailers. Healthcare services are among the first to adopt passkeys, which enhance authentication processes and aim to improve overall digital security in the UK.
The introduction of passkey technology will significantly enhance user security across government digital services, providing a faster, more convenient alternative to traditional passwords.
Artificial intelligence and digital government minister Feryal Clark heralded this initiative as a 'major step forward' in improving the UK's digital security framework.
