Read this four-part white paper series from Yubico to learn:

  • How WebAuthn goes beyond the limitations of passwords while improving security and usability
  • Use cases for implementing WebAuthn to provide fast, easy, and secure authentication
  • How WebAuthn works with a high-level technical discussion
  • The benefits of a hardware security key as a portable root of trust, including account recovery; high-risk or high-value transactions; and more
  • How WebAuthn protects against account takeovers by enabling authentication that is more secure than SMS-based authentication
