Passkeys: The future of authentication.
Our August meetup was online so we were able to record it!
Passwords are hard. Convincing non-technical users that they should be using strong or random passwords that are different for each site is a challenge. The recent attacks on LastPass show that even if we follow “best practices,” we can still get bit. Luckily, Apple, Google, Microsoft, and the W3C have been working for years on a plan to kill the password and passkeys!
Passkeys are simpler, faster, and more secure than passwords. In this talk, we’ll go over how passkeys work and how you can use them on your WordPress website right now to position your brand as an innovator.
