- Passkeys and the Future of Passwordless Authentication in 2025
by Lee PainterPasswords have been the default credential for decades, yet they are increasingly untenable in a world of ubiquitous data breaches and sophisticated cyber‑attacks. Compromised credentials remain the leading cause of security incidents—Verizon’s 2024 Data Breach Investigations Report found that more than 80 % of breaches involve credential compromise [6]. Traditional multifactor authentication (MFA) reduces risk… Read more: Passkeys and the Future of Passwordless Authentication in 2025 - Java SSH Libraries: The Unsung Heroes of Process Automation
