"Passwordless Is More Than a Buzzword Among Cybersecurity Pros"

Even though cybersecurity strategies are moving toward a passwordless future, password security remains critical. Fifty-four percent of the 100 Black Hat USA 2023 attendees surveyed by Delinea deemed passwordless a viable concept, while 79 percent agreed that passwords are evolving or becoming obsolete. When asked how they protect their passwords, most said they use an additional authentication method to protect their credentials and identity. Seventy-three percent of respondents use some form of multi-factor authentication (MFA), 57 percent specifically reported using an authenticator app, and 40 percent use biometrics. Fifty-two percent use a password manager, while 34 percent use a Privileged Access Management (PAM) solution to securely store credentials. Twenty-one percent reported using passkeys in place of or in addition to passwords. This article continues to discuss the concept and perceptions of passwordless security.
