Why go passwordless
Passwords are phished, reused and forgotten. Passwordless authentication binds login to something the user has (their phone or a security key) and something they are (a fingerprint or face), which is far harder to steal.
Supported methods
- Duo Mobile as a passwordless authenticator
- Platform authenticators such as Windows Hello and Touch ID
- FIDO2 security keys
- Passkeys
Rolling it out
Start with SSO-protected apps through Duo Single Sign-On, pilot with a small group, then expand. Passwordless is included from Duo Essentials.

Is passwordless more secure than MFA?
Phishing-resistant passwordless methods remove the password that attackers try to steal, which is generally stronger than password plus code.
Do users still need a password at all?
Some legacy systems still require one, so organisations often move to passwordless app by app.
