Imagine this all-too-familiar scenario: You grab your coffee, sit down at your desk, and are ready to tackle the day's to-do list. But before a single task can be checked off, a wall of login screens demands your attention. You can feel the panic rising when you’re staring at a password field, cycling through complex, unique combinations you know you created but can't quite recall—a mental tax that breaks your flow and chips away at your productivity. We've all felt it: "If I can't remember what I ate last Sunday, how am I supposed to remember this exact password?"
While they’ve served their purpose, passwords are now the biggest bottleneck in our digital lives. They’re prone to human error, tedious to type, and often too weak for the modern threat landscape.
The long-awaited solution has arrived in the form of passkeys. This modern, phishing-resistant technology represents a fundamental shift in digital security, offering an inherently secure and strikingly faster way to sign in.
Just to put it in perspective: Microsoft reports that passkey sign-ins take just 8 seconds, compared to 69 seconds for traditional password plus multi-factor logins. That’s not just convenience—it’s efficiency, multiplied across millions of daily logins.
As a FIDO member, we celebrate Passkeys Week 2025 (November 17 to 21), an industry-wide campaign to accelerate the adoption of passkeys. Zoho is proud to showcase our commitment to a truly passwordless future.
Zoho Accounts now offers passkey logins for +130 million accounts
At Zoho, our core mission is centered on innovation and delivering both power and convenience in enterprise security. We recognized early on that a true passwordless future requires not just adoption, but complete integration across the ecosystem.
We’ve already implemented passkeys for Zoho Accounts, providing our users with a truly seamless login experience across our platform. Now, we’re extending that convenience to the next level. You can now securely store, share, and manage all of your passkeys alongside your other digital identities right inside Zoho Vault.
Here’s what Zoho Vault brings to your table.
Your central hub for all your digital identity : passwords, SSO, and now passkeys
Zoho Vault, our flagship password manager, has grown well beyond being just a place to store passwords. It’s a centralized encrypted place for all of your sensitive digital identities, including payment card details, bank information, secure documents, and, most importantly, all of your passkeys.
Every passkey you create, whether it's for workplace applications, banking platforms, shopping sites, or productivity tools, can now be securely stored, shared, and managed inside Zoho Vault. This central hub ensures that all of your digital identities are protected with enterprise-grade encryption, robust access policies, and compliance-ready controls.
Sign into websites using passkeys stored in Zoho Vault
The true magic unfolds when everyday login moments become entirely effortless. Want to sign into any passkey supported website? Simply confirm the action on your trusted device, and Zoho Vault handles the secure cryptographic exchange behind the scenes.
There’s no manual entry, no password resets to worry about, and crucially, no vulnerability to phishing attacks. Instead of juggling different authentication methods across various devices and browsers, Zoho Vault becomes the universal handshake that connects your identity to your applications smoothly, securely, and consistently.
Take your passkeys wherever work happens
Work rarely happens at the same desk or on the same device. With Zoho Vault, your passkeys are truly portable. They travel safely with you and are supported across platforms and environments, from mobile to desktop to browser extensions. Whether you’re working remotely, collaborating across continents, or simply switching devices, your secure authentication remains seamless.
Unlocking Zoho Vault with a passkey
While the master password has always provided strong security for Zoho Vault, we now offer a step change in convenience. With comprehensive support for passkey-based unlocking, you can access everything inside your Vault instantly using the familiar, strong authentication methods already built into your device, like Face ID or a fingerprint scan. It’s instant, effortless, and rooted in the strongest security standards available today.
A collective effort for a safer future
The transition to stronger authentication is a collective industry effort, and Zoho is proud to be actively leading the charge. As a member of the FIDO Alliance, the global body defining secure authentication standards, we’re working alongside technology leaders like Google, Microsoft, and Apple. Our goal is to accelerate the adoption and refinement of passkeys while ensuring a smooth, secure transition for all users.
Try passkeys today and see how effortless security can be.
