⚜️ Passwordless authentication removes the need for a password and replaces it with something else. But is that safe?
Passwordless authentication
Passwordless authentication involves not using (or even storing) a password for an online account, but using an alternate mechanism to confirm your identity. The alternate mechanisms are those used as the second factor in two-factor authentication; they just become the only factor. With no password to expose or steal, it can be safer in many instances than traditional authentication. Two-factor authentication remains the most secure of all.
