Unlocking Security: How Passkeys by LoginRadius Enhance User Authentication
- 1. DATA SHEET Passkeys by LoginRadius Transform authentication security and ease of access with Passkeys by LoginRadius For years, passwords have been the go-to method for online customer authentication. However, relying on passwords alone poses security risks due to inherent human nature — such as the tendency to share passwords, reuse them, include personal information in them, opt for easily guessable passwords, fall prey to phishing attempts, and more. During the 2000s, leading industry analysts and researchers predicted that password-based authentication would soon phase out. Nevertheless, people have grown accustomed to passwords, with alternative methods proving less convenient and secure, making passwords the most preferred primary authentication method. With the FIDO2 open standard, however, passwordless authentication (passkeys) has become simplified and a more user-friendly option. With its broad support and compatibility across different device platforms and web browsers, this approach eliminates the need for traditional passwords and enhances both customer experience and authentication security.

Key Benefits © LoginRadius Inc. | Confidential Information 4 Improved Security: Passkeys are phishing-resistant and eliminate password risks such as password reuse, credential stuffing, and brute- force attacks, among others. Cross-device Availability: Your customers can synchronize passkeys across multiple devices with platform features like iCloud KeyChain and Google Password Manager — or with cross-platform password managers supporting passkeys, such as 1Password, Dashlane, etc. Improved Experience: Your customers don’t need to set, remember, or manage passwords; they can quickly use their passkeys for authentication with PINs or biometrics. Reduced Support Costs: Passkeys eliminate the time and effort required to administer password-based authentication systems and help customers with password-related issues. Performance & Scalability: LoginRadius’ inherent high performance and scalability seamlessly extend to passkeys to process millions of authentication requests with high throughput and low latency. Privacy Preserving: Your customers’ sensitive data, such as biometrics or PINs, are never stored or synced online. Your customers use them locally (on-device) to cryptographically unlock a relevant passkey when they want to sign/approve valid authentication requests.
