Enter passkeys \u2013 a modern solution for secure authentication that provides a safer and more convenient way to access apps and websites without ever having to remember or type out a password. Today, we\u2019re looking into the world of passkeys, explaining what they are, how they work, and why they&#8217;re considered the future of authentication.\n<div class=\"richtext\">\n<h2 id=\"what-are-passkeys\" class=\"nord-text text-h2 leading-normal font-medium tracking-tight text-black font-bold\" style=\"line-height: 1.2;\">What are passkeys?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"nord-text text-base leading-normal text-black\">Essentially, passkeys are a new, phishing-resistant, and convenient way to sign up for and access apps and websites. At its core, a passkey is a digital login credential that uses your device\u2014be it a phone, laptop, tablet, or desktop\u2014to authenticate you instead of a traditional username and password combination. Cybersecurity experts tout passkeys as the authentication technology set to replace passwords.<\/p>\n<p class=\"nord-text text-base leading-normal text-black\">Tech giants such as Apple, Microsoft, and Google are working on passkeys and aiming to make their platforms and accounts password-free. The decision is also expected to be taken up by other members of the FIDO Alliance, which is the driver behind passkey technology, and other companies around the globe.<\/p>\n<p class=\"nord-text text-base leading-normal text-black\">When passkeys become the dominant authentication method, you will be able to sign up and access online services the same way you unlock your phone \u2014 via biometrics. No longer will you need to create, remember, and type out passwords.<\/p>\n<p class=\"nord-text text-base leading-normal text-black\">Sounds awesome? Well, because passkeys are seriously awesome. Let\u2019s have a peek at how to use passkeys in the real world.<\/p>\n\n<h3 id=\"sign-up-experience\" class=\"nord-text text-h3 leading-normal font-medium tracking-tight text-black font-bold\" style=\"line-height: 1.2;\">Sign-up experience<\/h3>\n<p class=\"nord-text text-base leading-normal text-black\">Say you need to sign-up for a new online service that supports passkeys. All you need to do is add your email or username and confirm the prompt to create a passkey. Here\u2019s how the sign-up process works with passkeys:<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e3e4fa2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-video\" data-id=\"e3e4fa2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;youtube_url&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.youtube.com\\\/watch?v=gR3eduwB0sk&amp;embeds_referring_euri=https%3A%2F%2Fnordpass.com%2F&amp;source_ve_path=MjM4NTE&quot;,&quot;video_type&quot;:&quot;youtube&quot;,&quot;controls&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"video.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-wrapper elementor-open-inline\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-video\"><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f50a79e elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"f50a79e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 id=\"login-experience\" class=\"nord-text text-h3 leading-normal font-medium tracking-tight text-black font-bold\" style=\"line-height: 1.2;\">Login experience<\/h3>\n<p class=\"nord-text text-base leading-normal text-black\">Now that you\u2019re signed-up for an online service with a passkey, logging in is quick, easy and secure.

So first let\u2019s recap the old and familiar before getting into passkeys. By the end we should understand the whole passkeys vs. passwords deal and why passkeys are the way of the future.<\/p>\n\n<h3 id=\"password-technology-explained\" class=\"nord-text text-h3 leading-normal font-medium tracking-tight text-black font-bold\" style=\"line-height: 1.2;\">Password technology explained<\/h3>\n<p class=\"nord-text text-base leading-normal text-black\">Passwords \u2014 we know them all too well, and most of us have some idea of how they work. But let\u2019s quickly recap.<\/p>\n<p class=\"nord-text text-base leading-normal text-black\">Password-based authentication is relatively simple and straightforward. Say you create a password for a new online account. That password is then stored in an encrypted format on a server. When you use the password to access that account, the system compares the password you enter with the one in its database. If the two match \u2014 you\u2019re good to go.<\/p>\n<p class=\"nord-text text-base leading-normal text-black\">Simple, right? Well the catch is that this kind of user authentication presents quite a few serious security concerns. People tend to reuse simple and easy-to-crack passwords for multiple accounts, which is a hacker&#8217;s dream \u2014 crack a single account and you have access to a person&#8217;s entire digital life. Databases that store passwords can be breached. In fact, <a class=\"nord-link cursor-pointer outline-none transition-colors duration-250 ease-out text-teal hover:text-teal-dark\" href=\"https:\/\/www.verizon.com\/business\/resources\/reports\/dbir\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-slug=\"Link to https:\/\/www.verizon.com\/business\/resources\/reports\/dbir\/\" data-link=\"NordUIlink\">Verizon\u2019s Data Breach Report<\/a> notes that up to 80% of successful breaches are attributed to weak or stolen passwords.<\/p>\n\n<h3 id=\"passkey-technology-explained\" class=\"nord-text text-h3 leading-normal font-medium tracking-tight text-black font-bold\" style=\"line-height: 1.2;\">Passkey technology explained<\/h3>\n<p class=\"nord-text text-base leading-normal text-black\">You can think of passkeys as a new and improved type of password. Both are used to verify a user\u2019s identity upon sign up and login. However, the technology behind passkeys operates in a different way.<\/p>\n<p class=\"nord-text text-base leading-normal text-black\">Whenever you sign up for an online service which supports passkey authentication, two keys are generated \u2014 public and private, both of which are used to authenticate the user when logging in.<\/p>\n<p class=\"nord-text text-base leading-normal text-black\">Passkeys are widely considered to be a more secure and convenient form of authentication compared to passwords, as they reduce the risk of forgetting or reusing passwords. Passkeys are also resistant to phishing attacks as they can\u2019t be stolen from your device by a third-party.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-afc877c elementor-widget elementor-widget-video\" data-id=\"afc877c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;youtube_url&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.youtube.com\\\/watch?v=vQ2O_hB8PoU&quot;,&quot;video_type&quot;:&quot;youtube&quot;,&quot;controls&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"video.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-wrapper elementor-open-inline\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-video\"><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6330706 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6330706\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 id=\"what-sites-and-apps-support-passkeys\" class=\"nord-text text-h2 leading-normal font-medium tracking-tight text-black font-bold\" style=\"line-height: 1.2;\">What sites and apps support passkeys?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"nord-text text-base leading-normal text-black\">Unsurprisingly, passkeys are gaining a lot of traction. Major websites, services, and apps that already support passkey-based authentication include Apple, Amazon, Adobe, Coinbase, eBay, GitHub, Google, LinkedIn, Microsoft, Nintendo, PayPal, Shopify, Sony, TikTok, WhatsApp, X, Yahoo, and quite a few others.<\/p>\n<p class=\"nord-text text-base leading-normal text-black\">In the next couple of years, we can expect to see most companies pivot to passkey-based authentication, not only to make things easier for their users but also to improve the overall security for all involved parties.<\/p>\n\n<h2 id=\"will-passkeys-replace-passwords\" class=\"nord-text text-h2 leading-normal font-medium tracking-tight text-black font-bold\" style=\"line-height: 1.2;\">Will passkeys replace passwords?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"nord-text text-base leading-normal text-black\">Well, all signs point to that! Due to the convenience and security provided by passkeys, <a class=\"nord-link cursor-pointer outline-none transition-colors duration-250 ease-out text-teal hover:text-teal-dark\" href=\"\/en\/passkeys\/#:~:text=Passwords%3A%20A%20solution%20we%20settled%20for\" data-ga-slug=\"Link to \/passkeys\/#:~:text=Passwords%3A%20A%20solution%20we%20settled%20for\" data-link=\"NordUIlink\">the era of passwords may soon be over<\/a>. However, before it happens, major platforms, services, and apps must introduce passkeys as the authentication method.<\/p>\n<p class=\"nord-text text-base leading-normal text-black\">In NordPass, the passwordless future has already begun.
