As digitalization increases, security measures are becoming increasingly important to protect sensitive data from unauthorized access. Passkeys, which were introduced two years ago, are considered a promising alternative to traditional passwords. This technology is based on a more secure authentication method that uses either a physical security key or biometric data. The FIDO Alliance recently published new specifications for passkeys that will make it possible to import and export them in the future.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since the introduction of passkeys, a lot has happened to make authentication more secure and easier. Passkeys already offer a reliable alternative to traditional passwords, but until now there was no way to transfer them between different password managers. This significantly limited users' flexibility. With the new specifications published by the FIDO Alliance, real progress is now on the horizon. Companies such as 1Password, Google and Dashlane have already committed to supporting these new formats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What exactly are passkeys?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Passkeys are cryptographic keys designed to replace traditional passwords. Unlike passwords, which can often be stolen or hacked, passkeys offer a more secure way to log into online accounts. This works either through biometric data such as fingerprints or facial recognition, or by using a physical security key. The advantages of passkeys are obvious:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
