What is Passwordless Authentication?

What is passwordless authentication? It is a type of multi-factor authentication (MFA) that eliminates passwords. Instead, users authenticate themselves using something they have (such as a mobile device or a hardware security key) and something they are (such as their fingerprint or facial scan).

To learn more, read our Axiad Cloud vs. Yubico YubiKey Buyer's Guide (Updated: March 2024).

Passwordless authentication offers several advantages over traditional password-based authentication, including:

  • Passwordless authentication is much more difficult to hack than passwords, as it does not rely on something that can be easily guessed or stolen (such as a password).
  • Passwordless authentication is much more convenient for users, as they do not have to remember or type in passwords.
  • Passwordless authentication can help to reduce IT costs, as there is no need to manage or reset passwords.

There are several different types of passwordless authentication, including: push notifications that users must approve, a one-time passcode (TOTP) generated on the device that must be entered, or a hardware security key that needs to be connected directly to the device.

To summarize, passwordless authentication is a secure and convenient way to authenticate users. We believe this will become the more common way to authenticate and provide security.
