Passkeys offer a more secure and convenient login method, yet their adoption remains in early stages.

  • Passkeys replace traditional passwords by using biometrics and cryptographic security for authentication.
  • Major tech companies like Google, Apple, and Microsoft have begun supporting passkeys, boosting their popularity.
  • Approximately 20% of the top 100 websites now accept passkeys, although some major sites like Facebook and Netflix do not yet support them.
