Deep dives

Pass Keys: The Future of Authentication

Pass keys are introduced as a new way to log in to apps and websites that is fully passwordless. They are more secure and user-friendly than passwords. Pass keys utilize public key cryptography, generating unique private and public keys for each user. The private key remains on the user's device, while the public key is stored on the website server. Pass keys offer improved security, a phishing-resistant experience, and eliminate the need for password management. They can be implemented as the primary form of authentication or as a second factor alongside passwords. Major companies like Amazon and Best Buy have already embraced pass keys, and their adoption is expected to increase in the next few years.
