Say goodbye to forgetting your passwords.
If you are struggling to remember all of your passwords, search for your codes, and fill out MFA prompts, there’s good news: passkeys are changing the way you can log in. Passkeys can help replace your passwords with a safer alternative that is stored in your account, so you’ll never forget them. All you have to do is unlock your phone or computer with your fingerprint, face, or PIN, and you’re in.
Passkeys are supported by major platforms, including Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS, and they are already compatible with browsers such as Chrome, Edge, Safari, and Firefox.
Why passkeys matter
Traditional logins rely on something you know, your username and password. But passwords can be guessed, stolen, or phished. Passkeys rely on something you have (your device) and something you are (your biometrics). This makes them phishing-resistant, because there are no reusable credentials to steal.
In short:
- There are no passwords to remember or type
- Passkeys offer phishing-resistant security
- Passkeys offer built-in MFA with one action
- Your Passwords are synced securely across devices
Keeper Security
We recommend Keeper Security for managing and autofilling passkeys. Keeper fully supports passkey creation, storage, and autofill — making it simple to use and adopt this technology without losing control of your credentials.
Keeper also integrates across Windows, macOS, and mobile devices, so you can access your passkeys consistently whether you are logging into a website on your laptop or an app on your phone.
Passkeys are built on the FIDO2 and WebAuthn standards, which use public-key cryptography to authenticate users.
- When you make a passkey, your device creates a key pair made of two components:
- A public key (stored on the website’s server)
- A private key (securely stored on your device)
When you log in, the website sends a challenge that your device signs using the private key, but that key never leaves your device. This is why, even if a hacker breaches the site, they can’t steal your credentials.
Other Passkey Options
Windows Hello, Touch ID, and Android’s biometric unlock systems all work as “authenticators” for passkeys. Browsers, including Chrome, Edge, Safari, and Firefox, provide cross-device syncing via your Google, Apple, or Microsoft account.
How to switch to passkeys:
- Ensure your browser and operating system are up to date with the latest version.
- Check to see if your password manager (such as Keeper) supports passkeys.
- Enable passkey login when you sign into a supported website or service.
- Use your fingerprint, face, or device PIN the next time you log in, no password required.
Bottom line
Passkeys aren’t just a new login method. They’re a step toward a safer, passwordless internet. By combining security and convenience, passkeys make strong protection effortless for everyday users.
