What is Passwordless, Anyway?

See the video at the blog post.

In the Administrator’s Guide to Passwordless blog series, Tech Lead Jeremy Erickson covers everything you need to know to determine for yourself why passwordless authentication can be more secure and more usable than today’s leading authentication systems. But not every passwordless product or system meets the security high bar administrators need.

Your Journey Begins with Multi-Factor Authentication

Advisory CISO J. Wolfgang Goerlich details in our white paper, Passwordless: The Future of Authentication, how pairing passwordless technology with strong MFA to protect access across cloud and on-prem is a practical way to provide the broadest security coverage today. With MFA in place, you can reduce your reliance on passwords and modify password policies to require less frequent resets, alleviating help desk burden and reducing user frustration.

“We’ll remove the password down the road, but the first step really is reducing the security vulnerability and ensuring that we can rely on that strong factor, and we get there by beginning with multi-factor.”

MFA + Passwordless = Raising the Bar
