Explore Passkeys in Cerby

This article describes the passkeys feature available for the Cerby mobile app.

Passwords are becoming obsolete as cyber threats evolve and static credentials remain vulnerable. Passkeys offer a faster, easier, and more secure method for accessing corporate applications.

Cerby enables you to govern passkeys, not just use them. We deliver FIDO2-backed, phishing-resistant authentication across your workforce, extending modern security standards to all applications.

What are Passkeys?

Passkeys are a modern alternative to passwords, based on the FIDO (Fast IDentity Online) standard. Instead of memorizing a password, users rely on a unique cryptographic entity stored on their device. Authentication uses device biometrics, such as Face ID or Touch ID, or a hardware security key.

Why Passkeys in Cerby?

Passkeys are more secure, but managing them at scale in an enterprise can be challenging, especially for team collaboration. Cerby addresses this with a centralized passkey management framework.

• Phishing resistance: Passkeys are cryptographically linked to the legitimate website domain, making them immune to guessing, data breaches, or phishing attacks.

• Frictionless experience: Users access critical accounts in seconds with biometric verification, reducing password fatigue.

• Enterprise control: Cerby enables IT administrators to monitor passkey usage organization-wide, ensuring consistent application of security to essential apps.

The power of shared Passkeys

Traditionally, passkeys were limited to a single device, hindering team collaboration. Cerby solves this by maintaining passkey security while supporting teamwork.

Feature	Benefits for business
Secure delegation	Grant team members access to passkey-protected accounts without compromising the underlying cryptographic credentials.
Device agnostic	Access your passkey-secured accounts across different devices and platforms while maintaining a single, consistent identity.
Centralized revocation	Instantly revoke a user's ability to use a shared passkey if they leave the team or project, without needing to reset the app's security.

A step toward passwordless maturity

Adopting passkeys is a process. The Cerby mobile app supports this transition by enabling a hybrid environment, securing legacy accounts with automated password policies and upgrading key applications to a passwordless, passkey-driven workflow.
