How to Celebrate World Passkey Day

Learn More About Passkeys

Wondering what the big deal is about passkeys and why they are important? To begin with, it would be a good idea to get up to date on understanding more about this form of security. Here are a few facts:

Unlike passwords, passkeys incorporate biometric data, making it more difficult for someone to gain unauthorized access to accounts

Passkeys are stored locally instead of on servers, making them more secure

These passkeys are based on cryptography and cannot be guessed because they do not involve personal information

Passkeys are more resistant to theft and phishing tactics used by cyber criminals

Start Using Passkeys

Some people might feel hesitant to use new technology when they aren’t familiar with it or they don’t understand it. World Passkey Day is the perfect time to get involved with this important effort by changing from traditional passwords to passkeys on the digital platforms that offer this option.

Join World Passkey Day Events

Whether an expert on cyber security who is offering online courses or an individual who is learning more on behalf of their small business, World Passkey Day is a great time to get involved.

Choose to attend or offer online events, seminars, workshops and other activities that can help to educate the public and promote better digital security for everyone.

One of the best ways to do the world a digital security favor is to spread the word about World Passkey Day!

History of World Passkey Day

As the threat of cyber crimes continues to increase, many people are dedicating themselves to building a world that is free from the vulnerabilities of traditional passwords.

World Passkey Day is an important initiative that goes along with this effort!

With the aim of transforming password management into passwordless authentication, this event is meant to improve awareness for the public, making the cyberworld a safer and more secure place

This event is intentionally scheduled to take place on World Password Day as a way to remind people that cyber security is an ever-changing, evolving process.
