Passkeys are a secure method of authentication, generated within the user's secure hardware.
- They offer a seamless experience due to their integration with native browser interfaces and the ability to sync across devices.
- Apple and Google provide native support for passkey recovery through iCloud Keychain and Google Password Manager, respectively.
The security benefits of passkeys are significant:
- They are protected by operating system-level biometric systems such as Face ID, Touch ID, and screen lock patterns.
- Passkeys are uniquely tied to the domain that issued them, making it highly effective against phishing attacks. Unlike passwords, which can be stolen by fake websites, passkeys remain secure due to this domain binding.
