Passwordless auth methods also lower support costs by eliminating password reset requests and scales easily with a growing user base, while also minimizing internal threats related to password misuse.

While passwordless authentication methods like passkeys are simple on the surface for end users, there can be a lot of complexity under-the-hood for developers to handle when they're implementing passkeys.

These issues can then result in a disjointed user experience and can leave businesses vulnerable to security issues, which can hinder the transition to passwordless authentication to begin with.

Passwordless authentication flows are faster and friendlier, ultimately driving better user experiences, engagement rates and lifetime value.

Going passwordless enhances user experience by increasing security and convenience.

Addressing these considerations helps mitigate legal risks, builds user trust, and enhances overall security in passwordless authentication systems.
