You just registered and logged in using fully passwordless authentication. Rather than creating a traditional password, you created a passkey - a secure cryptographic signature that is sent to the website to verify your identity. Signature-based authentication is much more secure than passwords, and is virtually unphishable to hackers.
Try it AgainThe added benefits of passwordless authentication typically requires a great deal of engineering effort. Using Passage, you can add complete user authentication to your app or website in just 20 minutes.

- Secure passwordless authentication relies on the browser and device implementation of the WebAuthn protocol, which can vary by platform and version. This creates an array of possibilities for each user, and each one needs to be displayed and handled gracefully.
- To implement Passkeys you have to implement full WebAuthn functionality on the server your client is interacting with.
- Passkeys and the ecosystem around it is consistently being upgraded and has a high maintenance cost to stay up to date with standards and best practices.
- The Passage Element works out of the box for each user to show them the best passwordless experience based on their device and operating system.
- The Passage backend supports multiple passwordless options via an easy to use API and multiple language SDKs.
- Passage will always fall back to magic links, meaning your users will never be locked out of their accounts and can self service email and password changes, reducing your total support requests.
