The Challenges of Password-Based Security Systems

Are you ready for passkeys? Richard talks to Tarek Dawoud from Microsoft about the evolution of passwordless access with passkeys. Tarek talks about the FIDO alliance and the ongoing effort to create authentication strategies that are mathematically impossible to phish - no password stuffing under the covers that might get exploited by a man-in-the-middle attack. The conversation also dives into the passkeys name and how it's a rebranding of passwordless authentication to make it easier for everyone to understand that you'd rather have a passkey than a password. The products involved are still evolving, but there's plenty you can take advantage of today and make your organization more phishing-resistant than ever!
