A plain guide to the new passkey option for the people who sign in and the people who set the rules. Here is how passkey login brings passwordless authentication to QuestionPro.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Passwords stay, passkeys join them<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Passwords are not going anywhere. Neither is single sign-on. Most organizations run a mix of sign-in methods, for good reasons. So the useful question is not how to get rid of passwords. It is whether people can have a faster, safer option beside them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That is the idea behind passkey login in QuestionPro. It is an added way to sign in, not a replacement. Your existing methods stay in place. Eligible users can also confirm it\u2019s them with a fingerprint, a face check, or a device PIN, and skip typing a password. Organization admins decide whether their organization offers it. As sign-in moves toward passwordless authentication, it keeps QuestionPro ready for what comes next. This post covers how it works, what changes for users and admins, and how to introduce it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What happens when you sign in with a passkey<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A passkey is a pair of digital keys created for one website, in this case QuestionPro. It rests on public-key cryptography, the same idea that protects much of the secure web, and on open industry standards called FIDO2 and WebAuthn. In simplified terms, a sign-in goes like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. You choose the passkey option on the QuestionPro login page.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. QuestionPro asks your device to prove it holds the right key.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Your device asks you to confirm it\u2019s you with a fingerprint, a face check, or a PIN.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Your device answers, QuestionPro checks the answer, and you are in.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    The part that matters most is where the private key lives. It stays with your passkey provider, whether that is your device, a password manager, or a security key. QuestionPro never receives it. No password crosses the wire, and a fake page can’t trick you into typing anything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    That is the technical story. The usability story is shorter: you glance, tap or press, and you are in. And if you would rather type your password that day, you still can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    What changes for the people signing in<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    For anyone who opens QuestionPro often, the change is mostly subtraction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
