How many times have you clicked the \u201cForgot Password\u201d link this month? Or received a ticket from an end user who needed help doing this? How many times did you reset your password to one you\u2019ve used before (or had to scold an end user for wanting to do the same thing)?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If your numbers are high, we don\u2019t blame you for experiencing password fatigue<\/a>. More and more applications require passwords, making it harder and harder to create and memorize unique ones. The problem is, once a cybercriminal discovers the password you like to use, they have the keys to your information \u4e00 and potentially your company\u2019s and customers\u2019 information, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Verizon\u2019s 2021 Data Breach Investigations Report revealed that 61% of breaches<\/a> involved credential data.

In this piece, we\u2019ll explain what passwordless authentication means, how passwordless authentication works, and how to implement passwordless authentication to safeguard your business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
