Summary
According to a report by Dashlane, most consumers continue to rely on traditional passwords rather than adopting passkeys for authentication. The study highlights a slow uptake of biometric and token-based login methods, despite their increased security. Dashlane noted that only 18% of users have used passkeys, with many citing confusion or lack of awareness as barriers. The report also found that 62% of respondents were unfamiliar with the concept of passkeys. The findings suggest that widespread adoption of passkeys remains distant.
