Too easy to hack and often tedious to remember, traditional passwords are gradually giving way to a more advanced system of encrypted passkeys. This technology, which uses biometrics, is becoming increasingly widespread. In fact, the well-known password manager 1Password is expected to start supporting passkeys this summer.
Currently, passkeys appear to be the best alternative to traditional passwords. In fact, they are much easier to use, much more complicated to steal or hack, and are based on standards that are now proven. Apple and Google have made them available through some of their services. Now, more and more online services are switching to what is proving to be a much more secure solution than the old-fashioned password.
