Passwords are portrayed as an increasingly unsustainable security model because centralized storage, credential reuse, phishing, weak password choices, and costly resets expose both organizations and users to significant risk, with compromised credentials accounting for 39% of breaches in Verizon’s 2023 report. The proposed alternative centers on self-sovereign identity, which lets individuals store and control digital identity data in wallets and selectively present cryptographically verifiable credentials rather than disclose full documents or rely on centralized identity providers. Decentralized identifiers, blockchain-supported credential verification, token issuance using standards such as JSON Web Tokens, and biometric authentication can support passwordless systems for authentication, authorization, and access control while improving privacy, efficiency, and resistance to single points of failure. The shift requires organizations to reconsider identity verification and access management, particularly in sensitive sectors such as finance, healthcare, and government, while Didit presents its verification, credential issuance, workflow, API, and reusable KYC tools as infrastructure for adopting these approaches.
