Passkeys vs Password Vaults

[TeamKomando:John]

Hello John Whitehurst,

Great question, here’s a breakdown.

Passkeys
A new type of authentication that uses cryptographic keys to generate a unique credential for each user. Passkeys are more secure than passwords because they are resistant to phishing and other social engineering attacks. Passkeys are also more secure because they use a dual-key authentication system, where a public key is stored on the server and a private key is stored on the user’s device. Passkeys are authenticated using biometric methods like fingerprints or facial recognition.

Password vaults
A tool that can be used to manage passwords, including storing them in a secure vault, controlling access, and automating best practices. Password vaults can also help to combat identity theft and record sessions

How does using passkeys different from using a vault such as dashlane or lastpass?
