NCSC: Leave passwords in the past - passkeys are the future

The UK National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) advocates for passkeys as the default authentication method for consumers, positioning them as more secure and user-friendly than traditional passwords. The statement reflects a broader industry shift toward phishing-resistant authentication mechanisms.

Why it matters: Security practitioners need to understand NCSC guidance for UK compliance and consumer communications, and should plan for passkey implementation in their authentication strategies to meet evolving standards and reduce phishing vulnerability.
