Passkey user verification
Passkeys provide secure, phishing-resistant user verification by using public-key cryptography instead of passwords. End users sign in using device-level authentication, such as biometrics (fingerprint/face ID) or a PIN, which unlocks a private key to verify their identity. The process is much faster than logging in with passwords, works across synchronized devices, and removes the need for memorizing credentials.
