Security commentators are urging organizations to replace password-based authentication with passkeys—device‑bound credentials backed by major vendors—to reduce phishing and credential reuse across enterprise systems. The coverage explains how passkeys work and why higher education IT leaders should consider them for single sign‑on and consumer‑facing services. The story notes widespread industry support (Apple, Google, Microsoft, Amazon) and lists practical challenges: user education, device loss or replacement, and concerns about deepfake misuse of biometric flows. Campus IT offices should plan phased rollouts, backup/recovery pathways, and student/staff communications to reduce friction. Adopting passkeys on campus will require integration with identity providers, accessibility planning for unshared devices, and coordination with vendors that operate learning‑management and research platforms.
