"Survey Sees Shift to Passwordless Authentication Accelerating"

The Fast Identity Online (FIDO) Alliance and LastPass surveyed 1,005 Information Technology (IT) decision-makers, finding that 89 percent expect their organizations to use passwords for less than 25 percent of logins within five years. The survey discovered that 95 percent already offer passwordless access at their organization. Ninety-two percent plan to more widely adopt passwordless technologies. According to Mike Kosak, senior principal intelligence analyst at LastPass, there are multiple reasons for eliminating passwords. These include reducing help desk calls from users who have forgotten their passwords and improving the end-user experience. Kosak observed that most organizations are transitioning away from passwords in favor of passkeys. However, over half of respondents said there is a need for further education on how passwordless technology operates and/or how to deploy it. This article continues to discuss the growing adoption of passwordless authentication.
