The end of
passwords.

Yes — and the gap is bigger than most people realise. A password is a shared secret: you know it and the website stores a copy, so it can be guessed, reused across sites, leaked in a data breach, or phished out of you on a fake login page. A passkey removes every one of those failure modes. When you create a passkey, your device generates a cryptographic key pair; the private key never leaves your phone or laptop and is unlocked only by your fingerprint, face, or device PIN. The website only ever holds the public half, which is useless to an attacker.

Crucially, a passkey is bound to the real site's domain, so it simply won't work on a look-alike phishing page — there's nothing to type and nothing to steal. That's why Paswad treats passkeys as the default, not an add-on.

You don't get locked out — that's the most common myth about going passwordless. Passkeys sync securely through your Apple, Google, or Microsoft account, so a new phone picks them back up, and you can register several devices on one Paswad account (a laptop, a tablet, a backup phone).

For higher-assurance accounts, Paswad adds a recovery path tied to your verified web passport: live re-verification confirms it's really you before a new passkey is enrolled, with a cooling-off window and alerts on every step so an attacker can't quietly take over. Lose the device, keep the identity.

No. Paswad is the identity and signing layer, not your bank or wallet. Apps you connect receive only the specific permissions (scopes) you approve on a consent screen, and you can revoke any app's access at any time. Paswad never holds your funds.

Every sensitive action — signing in, and separately, approving a payment — requires a fresh passkey tap. Payments use per-transaction signing, so your device cryptographically signs the exact amount and recipient, and even a compromised app can't move money you didn't approve. You also get an instant alert the moment your passkey is used.

Yes. Passkeys are an open standard — FIDO2 / WebAuthn — built into every major platform: Apple (iOS, iPadOS, macOS, Safari), Google (Android, Chrome), and Microsoft (Windows, Edge), plus Firefox. Because Paswad builds on that standard rather than a proprietary system, your passkeys work everywhere those platforms do.

Signing in on a device that doesn't have your passkey yet? Use your phone to approve via a quick cross-device QR prompt, then optionally save a passkey there for next time. No browser extension or app install is required.

A passkey is a replacement for a password that lets you sign in with your device and a face scan, fingerprint, or PIN — nothing to type or remember. Under the hood it uses public-key cryptography: your device keeps a private key that never leaves it, and the website stores a matching public key. To log in, your device proves it holds the private key without ever revealing it.

That design is what makes passkeys both faster and safer than passwords. If you want the deeper version, our blog breaks down how passkeys actually work in plain English.

A password manager stores and autofills passwords — convenient, but the underlying secret can still be phished, and it doesn't prove who you are. Paswad is a passwordless identity platform: it replaces the password entirely with passkeys, adds a KYC-verified web passport for proving real-world identity, and supports per-transaction signing so you can approve high-value actions with a single tap.

In short, a password manager helps you cope with passwords; Paswad removes the need for them. See the full breakdown on our comparison page.
