Passkey Implementation
for Websites and Apps

Passkeys, built on the WebAuthn FIDO 2 framework, represent the next frontier in secure, passwordless authentication. Get the right passkey technology implemented with QBurst.

Passkey Implementation

Secure Alternative to Passwords

Passkeys are digital credentials generated using public key cryptography to authenticate user accounts. Public key cryptography is not an entirely new concept. SSL/TLS protocols used to authenticate websites embrace the same principle. The WebAuthn standard of passkeys takes it a step further to authenticate the identity of users attempting to access online systems.

Unlike passwords, passkeys don’t require memorization, are not susceptible to mishandling or misuse, and minimize user friction across devices. Accessing sites using passkeys is as simple as unlocking the phone using face ID, fingerprint, or PIN—a method already familiar to users.

Passkeys for Your Business

While passkeys are still in the nascent stage, they are set to become the industry norm thanks to the standardization efforts led by the FIDO Alliance and the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).

If you prioritize strong security, user convenience, and protection against cyber threats, then passkeys are a good choice for your business. They can provide an extra layer of security for databases, systems, networks, customer details, and all forms of sensitive data. Passkeys that adhere to FIDO Alliance specifications and protocols can be applied to a wide range of use cases while meeting industry-specific regulations and security standards. We help you navigate the complexity of this evolving technology and put in place security systems that best address your needs.

Protection from Phishing

A majority of data breaches reported every year have their origins in compromised passwords. Phishing tactics have evolved to a point where they can circumvent the heightened security offered by multifactor authentication (MFA). Given these realities, the time has come for enterprises to embrace a more secure authentication system.

Unlike passwords, which are generated and secured by users, passkeys are automatically generated and phishing-resistant. Even if the server is breached and the public key is intercepted, it is of no use without the private key, which is securely bound to the user’s device.

Ease of Use

Clunky passwords and cumbersome MFA can take the pleasure out of logging into essential or much-loved online services for customers. These user pain points typically spiral into fewer sign-ins, negative brand perception, cart abandonment, and loss of revenue for the business.

Passkeys mitigate user frustration by providing a frictionless authentication experience across devices and applications. This can translate to improved engagement and customer retention. In competitive industries, the positive sign-in experience can be a major differentiator.

How Do Passkeys Work?

During account registration, a user's device generates a pair of keys—a private key, which is unique to that account and confidentially stored on the user’s device, and a public key, which is uploaded to the server of the app or website. During sign-in, the server sends a prompt/ challenge to the device to prove possession of the matching private key. The device responds with the corresponding private key once users verify the signature using biometrics such as fingerprint or face recognition or a PIN or pattern. The server verifies the signature and the identity of the servers.

Passkeys Working

Frequently Asked Questions

Are passkeys all the same?

There are different types of passkeys:

Synced passkeys: The authentication keys owned and managed by platforms like Apple, Microsoft, and Google fall in this category. They can be synchronized across the user's various devices through the cloud services of the respective provider. They may, however, lack enterprise-level security features.

Device-bound enterprise passkeys: Previously known as single-device passkeys, these passkeys authenticate users on a single device or authenticate through a secure token, such as a YubiKey, preventing the risk associated with cross-device passkey usage. These are designed for enterprise environments where access control is critical.

App-level pass keys: These cater to specific applications for secure access to high-value transactions within the app and are ideal in scenarios where dedicated security measures are essential.

How are passkeys different from security keys?

Both passkey and security key operate based on the same standards and protocols. The former is designed with a focus on convenience, which makes them suitable for a broader user base. The latter is specifically designed for high-risk accounts or situations that require elevated security measures.

With passkeys, is two-factor (2FA) verification no longer required?

Yes, the passkey itself incorporates two-factor authentication elements as part of its design. However, it is up to you to decide if you want your website or app to have 2FA. But please note that 2FA and MFA do not protect you from thefts and account takeovers. They also can be frustrating to users.

On what platforms do passkeys work?

Passkeys are supported on browsers that implement the FIDO Alliance and W3C WebAuthn standards. Users have the flexibility to store their passkeys on any compatible device or service that adheres to these standards.

If passkeys are device-specific, do users have to create passkeys for each device?

Not necessarily. Some platforms offer secure backup and synchronization features for passkeys. Users can create a passkey on one device, which will be securely backed up and synced to their other devices.

How can users sign in from another device?

Users can sign into their desktop or laptop using the passkeys on a primary device like phone or tablet by scanning a QR code. The target device performs a proximity check and sets up an encrypted connection. The primary device, which has the passkey, prompts users to unlock the device. To further confirm their identity they may be required to complete biometric authentication. Once users are authenticated, they can access to the service on the target device.
