Summary

Passwordless authentication replaces traditional passwords with identity factors such as biometrics, trusted devices, magic links, push notifications, and FIDO2/WebAuthn security keys, aiming to reduce risks from reused, weak, stolen, or phished credentials. It is presented as improving convenience, lowering password-reset support costs, and strengthening security by relying on factors users possess or inherently are, with biometric tools such as facial recognition and fingerprint scanning gaining adoption alongside advances in liveness detection. The approach also raises important privacy, regulatory, and accessibility considerations, particularly around responsible biometric-data handling and the need for fallback methods such as email links or one-time passcodes. Didit promotes its platform as a way for organizations to deploy customizable passwordless workflows using facial verification, liveness detection, multi-factor options, device recognition, APIs, and reusable identity verification.
