  • Passkeys were developed to replace passwords for better account security, but their rollout by Apple and Google has limited their potential
  • Proton Pass offers passkeys that are universal, easy to use, and available to everyone for improved online security and privacy.

    The factors are:

    • Something you have
    • Something you are
    • Something you know

    Someone with your phone but no password or fingerprint is SOL. Someone with your password but not your phone also SOL
