Weak, reused, and stolen passwords continue to put personal and workplace accounts at risk. Passkeys offer a more secure and convenient way to sign in—without requiring users to create, remember, or repeatedly enter a traditional password.

In this short cybersecurity awareness video, employees will learn what passkeys are, how they authenticate a user, and why they can provide stronger protection against common account attacks.

The video explains how passkeys use a trusted device and a familiar verification method—such as a fingerprint, facial recognition, or device PIN—to confirm a user’s identity. Unlike a conventional password, the information used to authenticate the account is not typed into a website or shared with the service during sign-in.
