May 6, 2023, 3:07 PMWhen it comes to the password habits of Americans, there's some room for improvement. But some tech companies are hoping a new security technology known as a "passkey" may offer a solution.
Cerniauskaite says the prominence of weak passwords is nothing new, in part because of the sheer volume of accounts internet users now have to manage. "The server will be sending a request to your device which can only be answered by the related passkey stored there," Cerniauskaite said. "So when the passkeys are paired, you will actually be logged into your account."
"It replaces a password, which is a series of letters and numbers and symbols that you have memorized, with essentially biometric information stored on your device," Pierce said. "You can't give a hacker your password anymore, you can't be socially engineered into giving someone your password," he said, because "you don't have a password anymore."
