Summary

The password has lost its ability to protect critical applications and data. Legacy, password-based authentication, and access management technologies can no longer provide the confidentiality, integrity and empathy in identity and access management. Passwordless authentication lowers cost and improves security and business agility of adopting firms. While passwordless authentication is currently being used primarily in online web and mobile app contexts, firms are using passwordless authentication with contact centers. This report looks at passwordless authentication, explaining how it can replace passwords, the various implementation factors to consider and how strong authentication is a key foundational element of the Forrester IAM Lifecycle Model.
