How to Set Up Passkey Authentication in FraudLabs Pro

Introduction

Keeping your online accounts safe is a big deal these days. Passwords just aren’t cutting it anymore. People reuse them, pick easy ones, or get tricked into sharing them. Even with stuff like one-time codes or two-factor authentication, hackers still find ways in. That’s where something new comes in: passkey authentication. It’s a smarter, easier way to log in.

What Is Passkey Authentication

Think of passkeys as the modern upgrade to passwords. Instead of you typing in a secret word, your device holds a pair of keys:

• Private key: Stays hidden on your device.
• Public key: Saved by the app or website.

Here’s how it works:

1. You try to log in.
2. Your device checks that it’s really you, either with your face, fingerprint, or a PIN.
3. If you pass, your device proves it to the site without ever sharing your private key.

It’s like a lock and key, but the key never leaves your pocket. Plus, it only works on the real site where you set it up. Phishing scams don’t stand a chance.

Why Passkey Authentication Is Important

Passkeys make life so much easier and safer. Here’s why:

• No more trying to remember tricky passwords.
• No more password reset headaches.
• Super quick sign-ins—just a touch or a glance.

For companies, it’s a big win, too:

• Less chance of hackers stealing logins.
• Fewer fake logins and scams.
• Lower security costs and happier customers.

Major players like Apple, Google, and Microsoft already use passkeys. They’re becoming the new normal. By switching to passkeys, businesses can protect everyone and offer a much smoother login experience.
