Passkeys vs MFA: Proven Guide to Stop Password Risk

Adversary-in-the-middle phishing kits now defeat one-time codes and push approvals routinely, which is why the multi-factor authentication you deployed in 2020 is no longer doing the job you think it is. This guide compares passkeys and traditional MFA by the attacks each one actually stops, explains how origin binding makes a passkey unphishable, sets out the parts of a typical application estate that cannot accept a passkey yet, costs the migration in service desk time and hardware, and gives a staged rollout plan that ends with weak factors switched off rather than left as a fallback.
