Exploring Passkeys for Secure Online Authentication

The video discusses the limitations of traditional passwords, highlighting their security risks and inconvenience for users. It introduces passkeys as a secure, user-friendly alternative that eliminates the need for passwords by using device screen locks for authentication. Passkeys offer benefits like higher login success rates, reduced costs, and strong protection against phishing. They work with public key cryptography, ensuring security by storing private keys on devices and public keys on servers. Passkeys are compatible with most devices and can be synchronized across them, paving the way for a passwordless future.
