Passwordless Logins

Passwordless login can be compared to two-factor authentication (2FA), which is another method of adding an extra layer of security to the login process. Like 2FA, passwordless login requires the user to provide multiple forms of authentication in order to verify their identity. However, 2FA typically includes a password as one of the authentication factors, whereas passwordless login eliminates the need for a password.

Passwordless login is a method of accessing your online account without the need to enter a password. Instead, you authenticate your identity using a different form of verification, such as a SafeKey.

The goal of passwordless login is to improve the user experience by eliminating the need to remember and manage passwords, as well as to increase security by eliminating the risk of weak or reused passwords being compromised.

SafeKey is a device that uses a technology called Universal 2nd Factor (U2F) to enable passwordless login. To use SafeKey for passwordless login, you insert your SafeKey into your computer and touch it to authenticate your identity. This eliminates the need to manually enter a password and reduces the risk of your password being transmitted over the internet, making it a more convenient and secure authentication process.
