The approach replaces traditional passwords with cryptographic authentication methods that eliminate credential theft vulnerabilities.

Why it matters: For IT leaders and security teams, understanding how passkeys and AI can reduce breach costs and phishing success rates directly impacts budget allocation and security strategy decisions.
