Passwordless Authentication

Passwordless authentication is a security method that allows users to access systems, applications, or accounts without entering a traditional password. Instead, it relies on alternative authentication factors such as biometrics (fingerprint or facial recognition), hardware tokens, one-time passwords (OTP) sent to a mobile device, or authentication apps.

Passwordless authentication enhances security by eliminating the vulnerabilities associated with passwords, such as weak password creation, reuse across multiple sites, and susceptibility to phishing attacks. By using more secure and user-friendly methods, businesses can reduce the risk of unauthorized access and improve the user experience.

Implementing passwordless authentication helps organizations comply with security regulations and standards, reduces the administrative burden of password management, and provides a more robust defense against cyber threats.
