passwordless
Authentication without memorization
Passwordless describes authentication systems that verify identity without requiring users to enter a password.
Instead, they rely on alternatives like biometrics, security keys, or one-time codes sent to devices: The company switched to passwordless login using fingerprint scans.
The approach aims to improve both security and convenience, eliminating forgotten passwords and reducing vulnerability to phishing attacks.
