Understanding the Difference between 2SV and 2FA
Have you ever mixed up two-step verification (2SV) and two-factor authentication (2FA)? You're not alone! While they both aim to secure our digital lives, they aren't the same. This analysis provides help to dinstinguish them and clear up the confusion.
2SV might sound robust, adding an extra step to your login process, but did you know it's not always using factors from different categories? On the other hand, 2FA guarantees that by requiring two different types of evidence – something you know, something you have, or something you are. We'll explore why this distinction matters more than ever in today's digital world. Interested in improving your security knowledge and making smarter choices for your own apps or websites?
Get Development Help with our Passkeys Cheat Sheet
We created a passkey / WebAuthn cheat sheet that should help developers in their passkeys implementation journey. This cheat sheet covers everything from registration to authentication ceremonies, focusing on key elements like PublicKeyCredentialCreationOptions and PublicKeyCredentialRequestOptions. We'll walk you through the entire process, ensuring you know e.g. how to handle attestation and assertion phases correctly.
Not only does the guide detail essential objects and configurations, but it also provides practical examples, including code snippets to integrate passkey-based authentication into your applications.

Passkeys to Protect Binance Users in the Crypto World
Cryptocurrencies and web3 technologies have the potnetial to redefine financial landscapes. Binance, one of the biggest crypto exchanges, has stepped up with an innovative passkey system designed to improve user security while simplifying the login process.
Similiar to blockchain technology, passkeys also leverage public key cryptography to provide a secure authentication process across various platforms. However, in Binance’s passkey implementation, we discovered some strange behavior in Windows 11. This highlights the complexities of creating a universally smooth user experience.
For developers & product managers, the details of Binance's passkey implementation serve as a valuable case study. Are you interested by how Binance is navigating these challenges and setting new standards in secure, password-free authentication?
