For more than a decade, Zoho Vault has been a trusted solution for businesses to securely store, share, and manage their passwords. Back in 2018, we envisioned a passwordless future by introducing passwordless single sign-on (SSO) for cloud applications. Today, we’re excited to take another big step forward—Zoho Vault now supports passkey management!
At Zoho, we’re committed to innovation and security, ensuring that businesses have access to the most convenient and secure authentication methods. We’ve already implemented passkey authentication for Zoho Accounts, and now, with Zoho Vault, you can store and manage all of your passkeys in one secure location.
In this blog post, we’ll explore what passkeys are, why they're the future of authentication, and how Zoho Vault helps you transition to a truly passwordless experience.
What are passkeys?
Passkeys are the new method of authentication to protect our accounts. Instead of the traditional password, a passkey allows you to log into your accounts (including Zoho Vault) without having to memorize or type in anything. With support from major tech companies like Apple, Zoho, Google, and Microsoft, passkeys are becoming the new standard for passwordless authentication.
Why should you switch to passkeys ?
Built-in security
Passkeys are automatically generated with a public–private key pair. You don’t have to worry about creating a strong password because each passkey is designed to be highly secure from the start.
No more passwords to remember
With passkeys, all you need is biometric authentication (like your fingerprint or face ID) or your device passcode to sign in—nothing to type, nothing to remember. Logging in is faster and simpler than ever.
Your private key remains private
Your private key is never shared with the websites you log into. While the public key is stored on the website, it’s useless on its own, so your account stays safe—even if the website’s servers are compromised.
Protection against data breaches
If a website gets hacked, the only thing the attackers can access is the public key—no private key, no passwords to steal. This means your accounts are safe, even in the event of a data breach.
Built-in protection against phishing and social engineering attacks
Passkeys provide strong protection against phishing and social engineering attacks. Unlike passwords, which can be easily stolen via fake websites, passkeys use WebAuthn to ensure that your credentials are shared only with trusted sites, keeping scammers at bay.
A better user experience
Forget about the frustration of typing out passwords. Passkeys are faster, easier, and more convenient, letting you spend less time logging in and more time enjoying the services you love.
Which websites and apps support passkeys?
Passkeys are rapidly becoming the new standard for secure logins, with more websites and apps jumping on board every day. Curious about which services support passkeys? Check out the FIDO Alliance passkey directory for a list of supported websites and apps.
