Your team locks everything down with passwords. Some are strong, some are not, and most have been reused somewhere over the years. Every month, IT fields reset requests. Every year, the same breach reports list stolen credentials as the leading cause.

There is now a more effective path, and it does not require users to memorise anything. 

Passkey migration is the process of moving from traditional passwords to passkeys: a form of phishing-resistant authentication that uses your device’s built-in security instead of a shared secret. 

It is practical, it is already supported by most major platforms, and the business case is hard to argue with.

Why Passwords Are Still the Biggest Risk

Passwords have had sixty years to prove themselves. The data tells a consistent story.

More than 80% of data breaches involve compromised credentials, a figure that has remained consistent year after year, according to the Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report.

The underlying problem has not changed: passwords are shared secrets that must be stored somewhere, and secrets that get stored eventually get stolen.

Multi-factor authentication (MFA) reduced that risk significantly and remains an important baseline. But SMS-based codes, still the most common form of MFA, have a known weakness. 

Modern phishing kits can intercept a one-time code in real time: a convincing fake login page captures both the password and the code, and uses them on the real site before the session expires.

Phishing-resistant authentication closes that gap by design. Passkeys make it technically impossible for a fraudulent page to trigger login on your real device, because the credential is cryptographically bound to the legitimate domain.
