Summary
Passkeys are gaining attention as a new way to log in without passwords. How do they work, and how do they compare to traditional multi-factor authentication (MFA)? In this episode, we explore the history of passwords, the strengths and weaknesses of common MFA methods, and the potential of passkeys to enhance security. What threats do passkeys mitigate, and what still remain? Connect with us on LinkedIn or Twitter (see info at https://devsecops.fm/about/). We are happy to answer any questions, hear suggestions for new episodes, or hear from you, our listeners.
