Over 200 Companies Adopt Passkeys For Enhanced Security
The future without passwords is swiftly becoming a reality, now over 200 companies have incorporated passkey support into their applications and websites. This has been a major landmark disclosed by the organisation behind 1Password indicating a growing transition towards safer and more convenient authentication methods.
There has been a rise in the number of companies that adopted passkeys since last year including big brands such as Amazon, PlayStation, Walmart, Target, Discord and Canva. For 1Password, this diverse array of adopters highlights the flexibility and attractiveness of passkey technology in different sectors.
The passkeys were introduced two years ago as a substitution for conventional passwords making use of a security key or biometric data for more secure authentication. This technology was developed by the FIDO alliance in collaboration with companies such as Google, Apple and Microsoft.
1Password is also a member of the FIDO Alliance and has also shared some intriguing statistics concerning the adoption of passkeys among users. 1Password has already restored over 4.2 million passkeys and on a monthly basis the data of passkeys authentication has been around 2.1 million.
One out of every 3.4 customers of 1Password has at least one passkey saved and around 73% of the users who have passkey are the consumer accounts. These metrics for adoption are not just important for 1Password because it is leading towards a passwordless future but they also reflect the confidence customers have in 1Password to deliver safe and dependable passkey support.
As a member of the FIDO Alliance, there has been a dedication to assisting more and more people and businesses in moving away from passwords to embrace a more secure and straightforward future without passwords.
A brand new tool referred to as ‘Passkey Ready’ was launched earlier this year that allows web developers to easily verify whether users can transition from standard passwords to passkey.
