Introducing WebAuthn
Enabling a streamlined and more secure user authentication experience
Password-based authentication is popular but rife with problems, including poor security; susceptibility to phishing attacks; poor user experience; and needless complexity for IT organizations who have to assign, manage, and reset passwords, and users who have to remember, type, and vary passwords.
WebAuthn, a new web authentication standard recently approved by the W3C, finally offers websites, services, and applications stronger multi-factor authentication that is also user-friendly, as well as the opportunity to move away from password-based authentication altogether.
Read this Yubico white paper 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 enables the creation of a portable root of trust
