As the name Passkey suggests, it requires dual verification of an account before someone can sign-in
Context
With Passkeys there’s a subtle difference to FIDO 2.0 as it surrounds a multi-device Fast Identity Authentication with another protocol. Passkey uses a notification, which is generally sent to an individual’s smartphone during a log-in process and lets them authenticate their credentials. Often, this is done using a PIN or biometric process and thereby removes the need for conventional letter and number combination passwords.
Acceptance
By the end of 2023 it looks like more people are using passkeys than expected.[1]1Password experienced a particular spike in October 2023, correlating with big companies like Amazon and WhatsApp rolling out their support for passkeys during this month, with over 70,000 created between October 16-22 alone.
