Why you need to stop using passwords and switch to this secure alternative now

Do you want to avoid phishing attacks and data leaks? Embrace this popular new option right away. If you’ve been hearing a lot more about passkeys recently, there’s good reason for it. After becoming more widely available in 2022, passkeys have surged in popularity, driven by ease of use and increased security over the traditional password. The FIDO Alliance, the consortium that drove the development and adoption of passkeys, noted in a 2026 survey that some five billion of them are now in use globally and about 90 percent of people are aware of them. The first Thursday in May, which was once known as World Password Day, has even rebranded to World Passkey Day.
