You will soon be able to easily move your passkeys between password managers
The FIDO Alliance, a consortium dedicated to creating open standards for authentication, has announced a significant step towards a passwordless future. In a recent press release, the organization unveiled draft specifications that aim to standardize the secure exchange of passkeys and other credentials across different providers. This means you’ll be able to easily move your passkeys between different services, like password managers or online accounts, without compromising security.
Big names like Apple, Google, Microsoft, and Samsung are all on board with this new system, and they’re working together to make sure it’s easy for everyone to use seamlessly across different devices and platforms. Why is this a big deal? Well, passkeys are already more secure than passwords. They protect users from phishing scams and make logging in much easier. With more than 12 billion online accounts already using passkeys, this new development is set to make the internet a safer and more convenient place.
