What Is Passwordless Authentication?



Passwordless authentication is an advanced & secure authentication solution that provides alternate login methods without requiring traditional authentication or login methods involving the use of passwords. These alternate login methods can be biometrics, soft-tokens/authenticator apps, security keys, or one-time passcodes like OTP, etc. This passwordless login approach enhances both security and user experience, reducing password-related vulnerabilities (like password theft, brute force attacks, etc.) and simplifying the authentication process for end-users.


How Does Passwordless Authentication Work?

How Does Passwordless Authentication Work?
  • Alternate authentication technologies are utilized by Passwordless Authentication solutions to verify a user's identity without requiring a password.
  • Passwordless Authentication works through various passwordless methods to facilitate secure authentication without using passwords.
  • Some Popular Passwordless Authentication methods are:
    • Authenticator Apps: Receive a TOTP (Time-based OTP) on your Authenticator apps.
    • Magic Links: Sends a secure link to the user's email or phone.
    • Biometrics: Uses fingerprint, facial recognition, or iris scan.
    • Security Keys: Utilizes hardware keys, such as YubiKey, to authenticate.
    • One-Time Passcodes (OTPs): Sends a time-sensitive code to the user’s device.


Eliminate Password Vulnerabilities & Simplify User Login Experience

The user enters their user ID and, instead of a traditional password, they input the OTP received on their phone or click the magic link sent to their email, as per their set alternate passwordless login method. This process allows them to seamlessly authenticate and gain secure access. There is no way any hacker can gain unauthorized access even if they have the user ID of the end-user because they cannot easily have the user’s mobile device or biometric possessions that are used in the Passwordless Authentication process.



Why Go Passwordless?

Embracing passwordless authentication solutions can help organizations mitigate password-related vulnerabilities like:

Password Reuse


Password fatigue often urges employees to use the same password for multiple apps. If the password gets leaked, hackers can easily gain access to multiple critical apps & systems.

Password Theft


Hackers use methods such as brute-force attacks & credential stuffing to trace user’s passwords and gain unauthorized access.

Weak Passwords


Users find it hard to remember complex passwords and hence, they often use simpler or relatable ones. Hackers can easily trace these kinds of passwords and gain unauthorized access.



Benefits of Passwordless Authentication

Enhanced Security

Reduces the risk of phishing attacks and password breaches.

Improved User Experience

Simplifies the login process, reducing friction.

Cost Efficiency

Decreases the costs associated with password management and resets.

Compliance

Aligns with security standards such as FIDO and NIST.

Frequently Asked Questions


How Secure is Passwordless Authentication?

Passwordless authentication significantly enhances security by eliminating the vulnerabilities associated with passwords. It reduces the attack surface for phishing, brute force attacks, and password reuse. It often employs Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) by combining device-based methods, such as biometric data or hardware tokens, making it difficult to gain unauthorized access.

Can Passwordless Accounts Be Hacked?

While no system is completely immune to attacks, passwordless accounts are much harder to compromise. The security of passwordless authentication depends on the method used. For instance, biometrics and TOTPs (Time-Based One-Time Passwords) provide high levels of security.

Is Passwordless MFA NIST Compliant?

Passwordless Authentication Methods, such as biometrics, security keys, and one-time passcodes, align with NIST's recommendations for strong authentication mechanisms. Specifically, these methods can meet the requirements for AAL (Authenticator Assurance Level) 2 or higher, depending on their implementation.
