Challenge

Passwords are broken and Adversary-in-the-Middle (AitM) attacks can intercept verification codes.

Solution

Domain-bound passkeys authenticate directly between the device and server, leaving no secrets to steal, and leverage built-in device biometrics. 

Challenge

Complex passwords and frequent resets frustrate users, reduce conversions, and slow down both users.  

Solution

Passkeys replace passwords with one-touch biometrics like Face ID or Touch ID improving activation and conversion. 

Challenge

Password management requires ongoing investments  and driving up helpdesk tickets adding significant operational cost.

Solution

A passkey-first strategy shifts authentication to secure device hardware reducing IT operational cost.

What are passkeys?

Passkeys replace passwords using FIDO2 and WebAuthn, enabling sign-in with biometrics or device PINs like Face ID or Touch ID, removing weak passwords and enabling fast, secure, zero-friction login experiences.

What are passkeys?

How do passkeys work?

Registration

Step 1: Registration

Create a passwordless link between the user’s device and your server.

  • Key generation: The server sends a cryptographic challenge. The device prompts the user for biometrics (Face ID/Touch ID) or a PIN to authorize a new credential.
  • Public key storage: A unique private/public key pair is generated. The private key stays on the device, while the public key is stored on your server linked to the user’s account.
Authentication

Step 2: Authentication

Verify the user without ever sending passwords.

  • Assertion request: The server sends a new challenge. The device unlocks with biometrics or PIN to access the private key.
  • Signature & verification: The device signs the challenge with the private key. The server verifies it with the stored public key, instantly authenticating the user.

Benefits of passkeys

One-touch authentication

Replace "Type-and-Wait" with "Touch-and-Go" using native device biometrics.

Simplified MFA

Passkeys verify both device possession (what you have) and user biometrics ( what you are)  in a single, frictionless step.

Built-in device biometrics

Use Face ID, Touch ID, or Windows Hello sensors as high-assurance security tokens, enterprise-grade protection without extra friction.

Cross-device continuity

Leverage "Synced Passkeys" (Apple iCloud, Google Password Manager) so users can sign in across all their devices seamlessly.

FIDO2/WebAuthn compliance

Built on open global standards to ensure interoperability and avoid proprietary vendor lock-in.
