People often lose access to their accounts when a hacker breaks into the website’s server where the users’ passwords are stored, sometimes even unencrypted. “And here is passkeys’ superiority to passwords. The private key is saved on the device itself and the public key is stored on the website’s server. When joining a website that supports passkeys, the user’s device generates a pair of related keys - public and private. Passkey technology has already been adopted by Apple, Microsoft, Google, Paypal, eBay, KAYAK, and various other websites. Passkey technology is currently considered the most secure and promising alternative to passwords, says the company.

The release is available on the desktop app, web vault and on the Firefox and Chrome-based browser extensions. With passkeys automatically saved on NordPass instead of a device, they can be accessed on various devices and operating systems, as well as shared with others. With Nordpass Passkeys, individual and business users can store and manage passkeys from various websites in NordPass and use them to access apps and websites. As online authentication is entering a new modern phase with passkeys at its forefront, we at NordPass feel the momentum to create future-proof features and help our clients easily handle all of their digital accounts from day one,” says Jonas Karklys, CEO of NordPass.
“If there had been password management services right when passwords were created back in the last century, we now wouldn’t have issues like locked accounts, password reuse, or weak passwords.
With Microsoft, Apple and Google leaning into passkeys for online authentication, NordPass says its new release will help internet users adapt to the market change without compromising on security and convenience. In a move towards a passwordless future, advanced security and privacy provider NordVPN has developed NordPass, a solution to store and manage passkeys.
