FAQ
-
What is a Passkey?
-
A Passkey is a modern authentication credential that eliminates the need for passwords. It uses technologies such as biometrics (fingerprint, facial recognition) or physical authentication devices to securely verify a user’s identity.
-
What is Passwordless Authentication?
-
Passwordless Authentication is a method of logging in without using a password. Instead, it relies on alternative methods like:
1. OTP (One-Time Password) via email or SMS.
2. Magic Links (secure links sent to the user’s email).
3. WebAuthn-based Passkeys for biometric authentication. -
Are Passkeys more secure than OTPs?
-
Yes, Passkeys are more secure than OTPs. OTPs are often delivered via SMS or email, which are vulnerable to attacks like SIM swapping or phishing. Passkeys use high-level encryption, making them difficult to intercept.
-
How do Passkeys work?
-
During registration or login, the user’s device generates a key pair:
1. Private Key: Stored securely on the user’s device.
2. Public Key: Stored on the server.During login, the server sends a challenge to the user’s device. The challenge is signed with the Private Key. If the verification matches, the login succeeds.
-
What devices support Passkeys?
-
Passkeys are supported on devices compliant with WebAuthn standards, including:
1. Smartphones (iOS, Android).
2. Desktop and laptop computers.
3. Hardware security keys like YubiKey. -
Do Passkeys require an internet connection?
-
An internet connection is required for registration or logging into cloud-based services.
For local services that support WebAuthn, Passkeys can work without an internet connection.
