As the passwordless future gains traction, more than 200 companies are now incorporating passkey support onto their websites and applications. As announced by the company behind 1Password, this significant milestone signals a growing trend towards more secure and user-friendly authentication methods.
1Password reveals widespread adoption of passkeys among top companies.
The adoption rate of passkey implementations among firms has more than doubled over the past year, with notable examples including major brands such as Walmart, Amazon, Goal, PS, Discord, and Canva. One of 1Password’s greatest strengths is its diverse range of adopters who demonstrate the adaptability and allure of password management expertise across various industries.
Passkeys, introduced two years ago, have revolutionized traditional password use by replacing them with more secure authentication methods using safety keys or biometrics, offering an unprecedented level of protection for users. The know-how was jointly developed by the FIDO Alliance in collaboration with prominent firms such as Apple, Google, and Microsoft.
1Password’s membership in the FIDO Alliance is significant, and the company has also shared intriguing insights into the adoption of passkeys among its users.
With over 4.2 million saved passkeys in 1Password, the average user has secured approximately two million authentications every 30 days, showcasing the app’s impressive scalability and user adoption. One-third of 1Password clients store at least one passkey, while 73% of customers who utilize passkeys manage their accounts through the app.
As a pioneer in passwordless innovation, our adoption metrics serve as a key benchmark for 1Password’s progress in championing this vital movement. It’s a testament to the trust our clients have in 1Password, recognizing its commitment to providing secure and reliable password assistance.
We’re committed to helping many more individuals and organizations make the transition away from passwords, paving the way for a safer and simpler future without them.
Last year, 1Password debuted a new tool designed to simplify the process for web developers to determine whether their users can seamlessly transition from standard passwords to passkeys.
The FIDO Alliance has recently launched new specifications for passkeys that support integration with various platforms. Since its introduction in Safari on iOS 16, the feature has gained momentum, expanding its scope to third-party apps with the release of iOS 17.
