PASSKEYS: A NO FRILLS EXPLAINER ON THE FUTURE OF PASSWORDLESS AUTHENTICATION

Passkeys are a new method of authentication that replaces traditional passwords. With passkeys, a third-party service provider generates and stores a cryptographic key pair (public and private keys) associated with a website domain. Users can access these keys through the service provider for authentication, eliminating the need to remember passwords. Passkeys rely on signatures generated using private keys to authenticate messages, protecting against threats like database leaks and phishing attacks.
