We all use way too many passwords, and they are probably not very secure. Passkeys are the next step in password technology, aiming to replace passwords with a more secure alternative.
Trouble with passwords
For a long time, we used usernames and passwords to access websites, apps, and gadgets.
A fundamental issue with passwords is that their creators are largely to blame. You have to remember the password, thus it’s easy to fall into the trap of using real words or phrases. It’s also fairly typical to use the same password across several websites and apps in favour of having unique passwords for each one.
Although it is obviously not very safe, many individuals continue to use passwords like their birthday or the name of their pet. If they are successful, they can attempt it in every other place you use the same password. Using two-factor authentication and special passwords is essential as a result of this. Password managers, which produce random character strings for you and remember them for you, have been developed to solve this issue.
