Conclusion
Passwordless authentication results in a user-friendly computing experience that is highly resistant to
credential theft. It eliminates significant threats posed by unauthorized users logged into the corporate
IT network — including data breaches, ransomware, commercial espionage, and financial fraud.
From an organizational perspective, passwordless authentication with identity simplifies IAM IT
architectures centered on passwords and 2FA security. More importantly, it helps organizations answer
with certainty the key question of “Who is logging into my digital services?”
