Paaski is a new digital identity which is based on your device (phone or laptop). It uses your device’s biometrics (fingerprint or Face ID) or screen lock PIN instead of a traditional password. According to the FIDEO Alliance, the number of accounts supporting Passkey has reached billions in the last two years. This system is completely based on your device and biometrics.
When you set up a password on a website, two keys are created—a public key that the website stores and a private key that’s stored on your phone. When you login, the website sends a signal to your phone, and you ‘unlock’ it with your fingerprint or Face ID. You do not need to type anything.
