Passkeys: the Future of Subscriber Security
In the telecom industry, pricing is a primary differentiator due to market saturation. An emerging differentiation solution is passkeys, a passwordless authentication standard backed by the World Wide Web Consortium and the FIDO Alliance. However, the conventional method for implementing passkeys is cost-intensive and time-consuming. This often results in organizations seeking assistance from external software vendors.
What are passkeys?
Passkeys are a passwordless authentication method approved by the World Wide Web Consortium and the FIDO Alliance for websites and apps. They are intended to replace traditional passwords, enhancing online security. PhishMe states that 91% of cyberattacks begin with a phishing email. Passkeys prevent login using stolen passwords on protected sites and apps. They are compatible with major browsers on laptops and smartphones produced in the past 5 years.
In the densely populated telecom industry, standing out is tough. Many companies compete on price, but that’s not enough because there are so many players. Adding unique features, like passkeys for better security, can help attract customers. However, setting up passkeys can be hard and time-consuming. So, many telecoms get outside help to do it.
