The traditional password is facing obsolescence as passkeys emerge as a more secure alternative for online authentication. Passkeys consist of a pair of digital keys, with one key securely stored on the user's device and the other held by the service provider. This system enhances security by ensuring that even if a user encounters a phishing scam, the passkey will not function on a fraudulent site, as it is bound to the legitimate website. Experts like John Gallaugher from Boston College emphasize that passwords have long been a weak point in online security, often being easily guessed or reused across multiple accounts. Charlie Gero, a security technology expert, highlights that passkeys simplify the login process while significantly improving security. Users can unlock passkeys through familiar biometric methods, such as fingerprints or facial recognition. Although passkeys have been around for about four years, their adoption is just starting to gain momentum, and experts predict it may take several more years for them to fully replace passwords in everyday use.
