Why passkeys help stop account takeovers
Passkeys replace a shared password with cryptographic credentials tied to the service you are signing into.
The everyday problem
Attackers can steal passwords through fake login pages or reuse passwords exposed elsewhere.
What changes with passkeys?
A passkey is designed to authenticate to the correct service. A fake site cannot simply collect it the way it collects a typed password.
Where to begin
Enable passkeys on supported services, keep account recovery secure, and plan for device loss. Organizations should consider deployment, shared devices, and accessibility.
