What is Passwordless Authentication?

Consider the traditional log-in process. A user is required to present an identifier (typically a username) and a verifier (such as a password, passphrase, pin, credential, key, certificate, or another type of secret). The identifier confirms the identity of the user and provides the level of access permissions.

Passwordless authentication works by instead of passwords; users can use other authentication factors that are intrinsically safer. It uses more secure alternatives like One-time Passcode on mobile or on whats app, Push notifications, or Biometrics authentication.
