Imagine a world in which passwords are no longer necessary, and security never has to compromise convenience. That’s a reality that many businesses have achieved with Passwordless Authentication.
But how do they do it? And how can you do the same?
🔍 What’s in it for you?
Companies that have adopted passwordless technology achieve massive reductions in security breaches, satisfied customers, and lower operation costs. Are you ready to be one of them?
🌟 How Businesses Apply Passwordless Authentication:
🔹Microsoft rolled out passwordless sign-ins to everyone, leveraging biometrics and authentication apps like Authenticator. Their takeaway: User satisfaction improves, and password-driven breaches became a trickle.
🔹Deloitte rolled out passwordless authentication in its offices around the world. It is a hybrid model that uses both biometrics and FIDO2 security keys for secure, seamless access-proving this solution is scalable in even the largest of multi-geography companies.
🔹Bank of America rolled out passwordless login for mobile banking, which use device-based authentication; such functionality has already enabled the firm to see enhanced engagement by users and lower support calls to reset forgotten passwords.
🚀Setting up Passwordless Authentication requires the following:
1️⃣ Assess your current infrastructure: Consider how passwordless solutions integrate into your current authentication configuration. Do you want to start with biometrics, or begin with MFA first?
2️⃣ Choose appropriate technologies: Evaluate any of the following: FIDO2, biometrics, authenticator apps to determine what best fits your users and the security environment.
3️⃣ Pilot with a focused set of users: Go small. Take passwordless authentication out for a spin with a smaller subset of users and solicit feedback.
4️⃣ Educate your users: Adoption is critical, and your end-users will need to learn how to use the new authentication mechanism- tip them off to how much easier it is to get things done without worry about password remembrance.
5️⃣ Monitor and refine: Continuously analyze how your passwordless solution is performing and refine it where you are not pleased with the current state. Monitor user feedback as well as security metrics.
