Passkeys in Daily Practice: Beyond the Password

Reducing friction and risk at the front door

Passwords are not “bad.” They are just difficult to manage. We ask humans to create complex strings, remember them, and never write them down. Then we ask them to type those strings into boxes that look identical to legitimate login pages. This creates fatigue for operators and risk for the business.

Passkeys change the mechanism. instead of a secret you know (and can accidentally share), a passkey relies on something you have (your device) and something you are (biometrics like Face ID or Touch ID).

The operator experience

For the daily operator, the shift is about speed. You do not type a password. You do not wait for an SMS code.

When you enter Dossira, the browser asks your device to verify you. You touch a sensor or look at a camera. The device confirms you are present. The workspace opens.

This removes the “reset loop.” Operators often lose time resetting forgotten passwords. Passkeys remain stored securely on the device or synced via your platform account (like iCloud or Google Password Manager). The credential is always there.

The client experience

The biggest friction in professional services is often the “new portal” problem. Clients resist creating new accounts because they hate managing new passwords.

When you invite a guest to a workspace, they can register a passkey in seconds. They use the PIN or biometric they already use to unlock their phone or laptop.

• No complex requirements: We do not force them to create a 16-character string.
• No shared secrets: There is no password for a phisher to steal.
• Fewer support tickets: You spend less time helping clients log in.

Why this resists phishing

Phishing attacks usually rely on tricking a user into typing a password on a fake site. Passkeys are bound to the specific domain (dossira.com).

If a user clicks a malicious link that looks like Dossira, their device will refuse to offer the passkey. The technology recognizes the domain is wrong. The user does not have to be a security expert to remain safe. The protocol handles the verification.

Transitioning your team

Moving to passkeys does not require a heavy IT project.

1. Audit your devices: Ensure team laptops and phones have biometric sensors or PINs enabled.
2. Enable passkeys: Register the device when prompted during login.
3. Invite guests: Explain that they can use their device login.

It is a practical shift. We get better security, and the user gets to stop typing passwords.
