Keeper now supports desktop and web browser passkey management for easy and secure passwordless use on supported websites.
A leading provider of zero-trust and zero-knowledge cybersecurity solutions to protect passwords, privileged access, data and connections, today announces expanded support for passkey management across all desktop browsers and for every customer . With Keeper, passkeys are stored and managed in the Keeper Vault and can be used to easily log in to websites and applications across all desktop web browsers and operating systems. Passkeys replace passwords on supported websites and can also be used for step-up authentication or multi-factor authentication for those websites that support FIDO2 WebAuthn. With Keeper, passkeys can also be shared between teams in companies or family members.
Secure storage of all login details
“Keeper is committed to providing individuals, families and businesses the easiest, safest way to log in to their apps and websites,” said Craig Lurey, CTO and co-founder of Keeper Security. “Passkeys bring us closer to a passwordless future. Kepper ensures secure storage and access to all credentials, regardless of how a user chooses to authenticate. It is crucial to ensure seamless usage across all platforms and devices, including passkeys of course.”
A passkey is a cryptographic key that allows users to log in to accounts and apps without having to enter a password - similar to a digital version of a keycard stored on a phone, tablet or computer. Apple, Google and Microsoft have integrated passkey support into their operating systems. At the same time, website and application developers are integrating passkey support into login flows. Keeper has created a passkey directory of supporting websites and platforms for users. Keeper will also support passkeys for mobile devices once Android and iOS announce their passkey APIs for third-party credential managers later this year.
Resistance to phishing
Passkeys are easier to use than many traditional authentication methods. They are resistant to phishing, allowing users to log in to supported websites seamlessly and more securely. First introduced in 2022, the passwordless technology is based on industry standards from the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and the FIDO Alliance and is supported by Apple, Google, Microsoft, Paypal, eBay and others. Keeper is now a member of the FIDO Alliance, promoting the development, use and compliance of standards for authentication and device certification.
The Keeper browser extension automatically saves and fills passkeys, similar to a password-based login. A passkey is stored in a record in the Keeper Vault. A data set can contain all types of information, such as: B. Passkeys and traditional passwords, but also payment cards, ID cards, photos, files and more. The Keeper Vault also makes it possible to manage passkeys that are to be shared securely within the company, family or among friends, for example.
