Cryptographic key pairs use the strong user authentication framework of FIDO2 industry standards and protocols, which means you’re meeting some of the strongest security standards when it comes to passwordless authentication.Ĭurious to see passkeys in action? Check out the video below to see how LastPass will support saving, accessing, and sharing passkeys.You've heard it again and again: You need to use a password manager to generate strong, unique passwords and keep track of them for you. Storage and use of a passkey to log into sites in your vault will closely mirror the login experience of using a password – but what is happening in the background is much more secure. How do passkeys work with your LastPass vault? When you set up a passkey to access a website, the typical password authentication mechanism is replaced with the cryptographic key pair, meaning there is truly no password involved, even in the backend. If the relying party website is breached, for example, there is no risk of stolen data since the website only stores the public key. Both keys are needed to authenticate, meaning that without physical access to the end-user device, access to a passkey-protected account is impossible. Technically speaking, a passkey is a cryptographic key pair consisting of one public key (shared with the relying party website) and one private key (stored only on the end-user device) to authenticate the user and login. And, unlike passwords, passkeys are easy to use, and always strong and phishing resistant. Simply put: A passkey is a login method that completely eliminates the need for a password. Let’s dive into what a passkey is and how LastPass will support them later this year as we continue to evolve from passwords to passwordless. And because LastPass is a password manager with universal access, you’ll be able to sync and share across devices, browsers, and operating systems – it won’t matter where your passkey originated or what device you’re using to log in. You’ll be able to create, save, and access passkeys right in your LastPass vault, alongside your passwords and other secure credentials. As LastPass continues on its journey to passwordless, we’re excited to announce that support for passkeys is coming later this year.
