Thank Your Passwords As You Bid Them Adieu

This World Passkey Day, take a moment to thank your passwords for their years of service. Then, escort them gently to retirement before they reset themselves for the 14th time this quarter.

To every company still making users create complex passwords with inscrutable complexity rules, consider this your friendly intervention. The passwordless future is already here. Passkeys are making sign-ins faster, phishing-resistant, and dramatically less painful for users everywhere. That means fewer “Forgot Password?” clicks and fewer support tickets fueled by existential despair.

The time is now. Stop treating passkeys like a “coming soon” feature and start treating passwords like fax machines with better PR.

Happy World Passkey Day from all of us here at the FIDO Alliance.
