Passwordless SSO with Passkeys
Minimum requirements for using a smartphone as a Passkey
About the Passkey
Based on FIDO standards, passkeys are a replacement for passwords that provide faster, easier, and more secure sign-ins to websites and apps across a user’s devices. Unlike passwords, passkeys are always strong and phishing-resistant.​
Passkeys simplify account registration for apps and websites, are easy to use, work across most of a user’s devices, and even work on other devices within physical proximity.​
Passkey may include:
Biometric authentication using Android devices;
Touch ID / Face ID using iOS devices;
Windows Hello;
External security keys (like Hideez Key or YubiKey).
