Number of companies supporting passkeys in apps and websites tops 200

Over 200 companies have adopted passkey technology, signaling a significant step towards a passwordless future. This milestone, highlighted by 1Password, indicates a growing industry-wide shift towards more secure and user-friendly authentication methods.

The transition from passwords to Passkeys will be a process, taking time, but it will be well worth the wait. – MacDailyNews, June 16, 2022

For those unfamiliar, passkeys were introduced two years ago, and they replace traditional passwords with more secure authentication using a security key or biometrics. The technology was developed by FIDO Alliance in partnership with companies such as Apple, Google, and Microsoft.

The FIDO Alliance recently announced new specifications for passkeys that include support for easy import and export of keys between different password managers. When it comes to iOS, the feature has been available in Safari since iOS 16 and was expanded to third-party apps with iOS 17.
