In a recent study by the Federal Office for Information Security (BSI), the use of passkeys is described as a groundbreaking alternative to traditional passwords. Passkeys are considered more secure, user-friendly, and help to overcome well-known security issues such as phishing and weak passwords. MARINI, as an innovative platform, supports this technology and implements it to provide even greater security and convenience.
What is a Passkey?
A passkey is a form of passwordless authentication that is based on cryptographic key pairs. Unlike traditional passwords, where you have to remember and enter a string of characters, logging in with a passkey involves a unique key pair: a public key and a private key. The private key remains securely stored on your device and is activated by biometric features like fingerprints or facial recognition, significantly reducing the risk of phishing or data breaches.
According to the BSI report, 41% of surveyed users already use biometrics as an authentication method and see passkeys as a convenient and fast alternative. Around 85% of participants stated that they envision a future without passwords — a clear majority that highlights the potential of passkeys.
Why Are Passkeys More Secure?
Passkeys offer a higher level of security as they prevent phishing and, by utilizing biometrics, ensure that only authorized individuals can access the account. Unlike traditional passwords, which are often insecurely chosen or reused, passkeys are unique and tied to a specific device. The challenge of remembering numerous passwords is also completely eliminated.
Another key finding from the BSI study shows that passkeys are not only secure but also intuitive and easy to use for users. 63% of respondents confirmed that they prefer passkeys over the traditional password method because the login process is significantly faster.
Passkeys at MARINI – Your Security is Our Priority
The **MARINI platform** has also recognized the benefits of passkeys and has implemented them alongside other authentication methods such as TOTP (Time-based One-Time Password) and email codes. By supporting passkeys, MARINI ensures that your sensitive data is optimally protected at all times, without the need to deal with the complexity of passwords. This means you can log in quickly and securely by using your smartphone or a fingerprint scanner.
MARINI recommends using passkeys to maximize the security of your data while also enhancing user-friendliness. You can learn more about security at MARINI here: MARINI Security.
