What is the Passkey Pledge and why did we join?
The Passkey Pledge is a FIDO Alliance initiative for online service providers and authentication solution vendors. Its goal is to accelerate the adoption of passwordless authentication based on passkeys and FIDO standards. The pledge is voluntary and non-binding, but signatories commit to taking measurable action within one year to support the adoption of passkeys in their services or products.
Secfense has joined the Passkey Pledge because our mission fully aligns with its objectives. We help organizations eliminate password-related risks by implementing passkeys and FIDO-based passwordless authentication without requiring infrastructure changes.
What does the Passkey Pledge mean for participating organizations?
Organizations that sign the pledge commit to making measurable progress based on their role in the authentication ecosystem:
- Service providers that already support passkeys
Must demonstrate how they are increasing the actual usage of passkeys for user logins. - Service providers planning to implement passkeys
Should show measurable steps taken to enable passkey sign-ins. - Vendors offering FIDO-based products or services
Are expected to show an increase in passkey usage enabled by their offerings. - Vendors developing FIDO-based products or services
Must aim to achieve FIDO certification and launch a product with passkey support. - Industry associations and standards organizations
Should work to promote the visibility and benefits of passkey adoption.
How does Secfense support passkey adoption?
At Secfense, we enable organizations to adopt passwordless authentication through passkeys and FIDO standards—without changing or rewriting existing applications. Our approach is seamless and non-invasive, giving full control over identity management and helping organizations stay compliant with regulations such as DORA and NIS2.
By joining the Passkey Pledge, we commit to:
- Supporting our customers in replacing passwords with passkeys.
- Driving measurable passkey adoption across production environments.
- Promoting FIDO-aligned security and UX best practices.
- Sharing real-world use cases and implementation results.
Why should organizations adopt passkeys now?
Passkeys offer stronger protection than passwords and prevent common attacks such as phishing and account takeovers. They also align with modern compliance requirements, including GDPR, DORA, and NIS2.
Additionally, passkeys improve user experience by removing the need to create, remember, or reset passwords. Authentication becomes faster, more secure, and easier to manage across all platforms.
