🏢 CISA Authentication and Passkeys: Why MFA is Not Enough
Here are this week’s topics that you don’t wanna miss out on!
How to Easily Add Passkeys to Your Astro App
Google has rolled out a huge update: passkeys created on your Android device now sync seamlessly across Chrome on Windows and macOS. This means you can log in securely without needing extra password managers or complex setups. Just sign in to your Google account on Chrome, and your passkeys are ready to use. This move positions Google ahead of Apple and Microsoft in the cross-platform passkey arena. But how exactly does this syncing work, and what does it mean for other password managers?
QR Code Logins: Native Apps vs. Passkeys
QR code logins are reshaping how we authenticate across devices, offering a password-free experience. But not all QR logins are the same. This article analyzes two key methods: native app-based QR logins (like those used by WhatsApp) and passkey-based logins. Native app QR logins offer ease but lack phishing resistance, while passkey logins bring cross-device functionality with superior security. Which approach suits your needs? Discover the trade-offs and how these methods tackle modern authentication challenges.
CISA's new standard: why MFA alone isn’t enough
The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) just dropped an update in their Secure by Design guide: MFA alone doesn’t cut it anymore. The new emphasis? Passkeys - secure, phishing-resistant authentication based on public-key cryptography. Traditional MFA methods like SMS codes can still fall prey to phishing, but passkeys eliminate that risk by ditching shared secrets entirely. It’s a game-changer for digital security, but why has CISA made this push now, and what does it mean for organizations?
