In 2022, Apple, Google, and Microsoft introduced passkeys—passwordless login that promises to reshape security. But not all passkeys are the same, and understanding the difference could mean the difference between being secure or vulnerable.


There are two types of passkeys: device-bound and synced. Device-bound passkeys stay on one device, keeping your data locked down tight. But synced passkeys, which work across all your devices, are more convenient—until one of those devices gets hacked. Suddenly, your entire system is at risk.


Passkeys are a major win for security—they’re resistant to phishing attacks because there are no passwords to steal. But don’t be fooled. They don’t solve everything. Social engineering and inconsistent login prompts across devices can still open doors for hackers.


Here’s the real danger: synced passkeys seem like a simple solution, but they can leave your security exposed. If a hacker compromises a Google or Apple account, they could access your sensitive data.


This is where RSA ID Plus steps in. RSA’s device-bound passkeys ensure your security remains locked down. They integrate seamlessly into your existing systems, offering protection that’s both simple and impenetrable.


ServiceIT+ takes it further, helping your organization move to passwordless security smoothly and securely. We tailor passkey solutions to your specific needs, ensuring you don’t leave any gaps for attackers to exploit.


Don’t gamble with your organization’s security. Let RSA and ServiceIT+ help you lock it down and keep the hackers out.
