Embracing the Future of Authentication with Passwordless Innovation Robert MacDonald, Vice President of Product Marketing, 1Kosmos Bangalore (Karnataka) [India], May 25: VP Product Marketing, 1Kosmos, Robert MacDonald, speaks about redefining digital security with 1Kosmos’s pioneering identity first approach to passwordless authentication to combat cyber threats, the inspiration behind adopting this approach, and the benefits it offers compared to traditional password-based authentication. Q. Can you explain the concept of passwordless authentication? Passwordless authentication is a method of verifying a user’s identity without requiring a password. Instead of relying on a secret password that can be guessed or stolen, passwordless authentication utilizes other factors to verify the user’s identity, such as biometric data (e.g. TouchID, FaceID or facial recognition biometric), hardware tokens, or public key cryptography.
