As a result, around 44% of people reuse their passwords for personal and professional accounts.  Passwordless authentication plays a crucial role in remediating this situation. By leveraging the unique physiological characteristics of individuals to establish their identity, it offers unparalleled security. It locks away the sensitive, critical information behind the curtains of your fingerprints, iris patterns, facial features, voice patterns, and behavioral patterns like keystroke dynamics.  Biometric systems can be deployed across applications, from physical access control and time attendance systems to mobile devices and online transactions.

Not only are passwords easily compromised, but they are also difficult to manage. They even cost a lot of money since they take up plenty of help-desk support time. A survey report reveals that 62 per cent of respondents experienced extreme frustration because of password lockouts. This is also because lockouts hamper productivity and add to poor user login experiences. Then, there is multi-factor authentication (MFA), where one uses several factors for user verification . The mul...
