The Future of Passwords: Passkeys and Alternatives

1Password CEO Jeff Shiner spoke to 9to5Mac about the future of password managers with passkeys, a new technology that replaces traditional passwords. Passkeys, developed by the FIDO Alliance, allow users to sign in with secure authentication methods such as facial recognition or biometrics. 1Password has joined the FIDO Alliance and is working to implement passkey support, which will be available this summer. Shiner emphasized the importance of making 1Password easy to use and educating users about passkeys. The company's Secret Key ensures that even if 1Password is hacked, the attacker won't have access to users' vaults.
