Passkeys now available for passwordless sign-in and 2FA on GitLab

GitLab has introduced passkeys as a more secure and convenient method for accessing accounts, offering passwordless sign-in and serving as a phishing-resistant two-factor authentication (2FA) option. These passkeys utilize WebAuthn technology and public-key cryptography, where the private key remains on the user's device and the public key is stored on GitLab, ensuring that even if GitLab is compromised, credentials cannot be misused. Available across various desktop browsers, mobile devices, and FIDO2 hardware security keys, passkeys allow users to register multiple devices for easy access. With the implementation of passkeys, GitLab aligns with the CISA Secure by Design Pledge to enhance security and promote the use of multi-factor authentication across its products. This initiative aims to make signing into GitLab more secure and convenient for users, and the GitLab team invites feedback for potential improvements.
