Authgear Takes the Passkey Pledge: Our Commitment to a Passwordless Future

We're proud to announce that Authgear has officially taken the Passkey Pledge from the FIDO Alliance, joining the global movement toward more secure, convenient authentication standards. This commitment reflects our ongoing dedication to providing cutting-edge identity management solutions that prioritize both security and user experience.

Why Passkeys Matter

Traditional passwords have long been the weak link in online security. They're easily forgotten, frequently reused, and vulnerable to phishing attacks. Passkeys represent the next evolution in authentication technology—eliminating these vulnerabilities while offering a seamless user experience.

As a modern authentication method that replaces traditional passwords, passkeys provide:

• Enhanced security through cryptographic key pairs that are resistant to phishing and credential theft
• Improved user experience with quick, passwordless authentication
• Cross-platform compatibility that works across devices and operating systems
• Reduced support costs associated with password resets and account recovery

Our Commitment

Authgear is one of the first authentication platforms to roll out passkey support back in 2022. Developers can easily bring login with passkey to their website and native applications with just one click in the portal. Through these 3 years, we are seeing more companies and enterprises enabling passkeys in their software.

By taking the FIDO Alliance's Passkey Pledge, Authgear commits to:

1. Promoting passkeys as the primary authentication method for our customers
2. Educating users and businesses about the security benefits of passwordless authentication
3. Transparently documenting our progress and sharing insights with the broader community

This pledge isn't just about adopting new technology—it's about actively contributing to a more secure digital ecosystem for everyone.

What's Next

Our goal is to make passwordless authentication the default, not the exception. We believe that security shouldn't come at the expense of user experience, and passkeys represent the perfect balance of both.

We invite our customers, partners, and the broader tech community to join us on this journey toward a passwordless future. Together, we can create a more secure online environment where authentication is both stronger and simpler than ever before.
