There are several ways in which passkeys are different from passwords in terms of how they are created, how they are filled into websites and how they are secured. Passwords are user-generated whereas passkeys are automatically generated using public key cryptography. Unlike passwords, passkeys are a new type of digital credential that is phishing-resistant and can’t be easily compromised. However, only a few websites currently support passkeys.

U.S. court employees need to access dozens of systems and applications in order to complete their duties. These employees may also have access to Personally Identifiable Information (PII), which must be securely stored and managed with strict access controls. Court systems need a way for employees to easily and securely access systems, and share passwords and files among teams.

It not only protects sensitive data and resources but also contributes to the overall success and trustworthiness of an organization. And just as technologies are converging, networking and security teams are increasingly working together.
