Users who utilise the new authentication system may access websites and services that support it without having to enter usernames and passwords. While it can employ biometric authentication to validate a user’s identity, it is not the same as current login technology that auto-fills login fields with facial or fingerprint recognition. The method generates a cryptographic key pair, one public and one private, which is linked to a user’s account. Apps and services that support passkeys use the public key to validate a user’s identity by comparing it to the private key stored on the user’s device.
