Passkey

A passwordless authentication standard that allows users to sign in to apps and websites using biometrics (fingerprint, face scan) or a device PIN instead of a password. Gives MSPs a way to offer phishing-proof authentication. Passkeys work like unlocking your phone, the same fingerprint or face, but now also for logging into apps. No password to forget. No code to intercept. And fake websites simply can't trick it.
