Passwordless Authentication: Are We Ready for a World Without Passwords?

Author(s) Naga Yeswanth Reddy Guntaka
Country United States
Abstract Password less authentication is emerging as a critical evolution in enterprise security as traditional password-based systems increasingly prove inadequate against sophisticated cyber threats. This transition represents a fundamental shift from knowledge-based verification to methods leveraging inherent factors, possession factors, and contextual verification. The article examines how passwords, despite their ubiquity, create substantial vulnerabilities through human error, susceptibility to phishing, costly management overhead, and user friction. Various passwordless alternatives including biometrics, hardware tokens, mobile-based authentication, and magic links offer compelling advantages in security posture, user experience, operational costs, and regulatory compliance. Despite these benefits, organizations face implementation challenges including financial investment, user resistance, integration complexity, and security considerations for the authentication factors themselves. Identity and Access Management tools play a crucial enabling role, with platforms like SailPoint, Oracle, and Saviynt providing the governance frameworks essential for successful implementation. With proper assessment,solution selection, employee education, and phased deployment, organizations across sectors can successfully navigate this transformation toward more secure and frictionless authentication experiences.
Keywords Passwordless authentication, biometric verification, zero trust architecture, identity governance, phishing resistance
