“Passkeys,” the secure authentication mechanism built to replace passwords, are getting more portable and easier for organizations to implement thanks to new initiatives the FIDO Alliance announced on Monday.

    Never forget that technologically speaking you’re nothing like the average user. Only 1 in 3 users use password managers. Most people just remember 1 password and use it everywhere (or some other similarly weak setup).

    Not remembering passwords is a huge boon for most users, and passkeys are a very simple and secure way of handling it.

        At one point the organization I work for had a password that was literally Password-022!, guess what it was the following month?
