Auth0 announced the launch of Auth0 WebAuthn Passwordless, an authentication feature that enables end-users to seamlessly log in with a biometric identifier - such as facial recognition or a fingerprint - as a convenient and secure alternative to a traditional password.

Removing the need for long, complex passwords, Auth0 WebAuthn Passwordless provides a frictionless experience for end-users, while reducing the significant password management burden for companies.

"A passwordless future is largely being driven by two primary forces - security and convenience. Companies want to secure the vulnerabilities that come with passwords, and they also want to offer their users a better digital experience. Auth0 WebAuthn Passwordless is a modern option for organizations looking to attract and retain users."

With Auth0 WebAuthn Passwordless, users can authenticate with Web Authentication-powered biometrics, the official web standard for passwordless authentication as published by W3C and used by FIDO, for first-factor authentication.

Auth0 WebAuthn Passwordless is an ideal option for companies looking to build and provide an authentication experience supporting conversion and retention of users who want more choice and less friction in their login experience.

Auth0 WebAuthn Passwordless eliminates the need for users to enter username and password credentials and enables simpler login with a biometric identifier such as facial recognition like Apple Face ID, or a fingerprint scan on a mobile device or laptop.
