Passwordless & Passkeys

Introduction:

Passwords are so 2010. They are weakest link in modern security. It is easily phished, forgotten, and often reused across multiple sites, leading to widespread account takeovers. The industry is moving towards passwordless solutions that are both more secure and easier for the user.
GoAM is built with a forward-looking architecture that natively embraces these modern standards. It treats FIDO2/WebAuthn as a first-class citizen, allowing you to design flows where passkeys—using biometrics on a phone or a hardware key—are the primary method of authentication, not just an add-on.

Use Case Example

A high-security financial application can prompt users to register a passkey during setup. For all subsequent logins, the user simply uses their device's Face ID or fingerprint, completely eliminating the risk of phishing and providing a seamless, fast login experience.

A corporate environment can enable employees to log into their internal dashboards and applications using their company-issued Yubikeys or Windows Hello for Business. This streamlines the login process, drastically reduces helpdesk calls for password resets, and significantly hardens the company's internal security posture
