RSA, Thursday, August 13th, 2026
RSA argues passkeys are the future of passwordless authentication, citing 87% enterprise deployment in 2026.
RSA published a guide arguing that passkeys represent the future of passwordless authentication.
The post notes that passwords have been the weakest link in enterprise security for decades and that the numbers bear this out, with the average cost of a single password reset put at $70 per incident covering support labour, infrastructure and downstream productivity loss. RSA cites 87% of enterprises deploying passkeys in 2026.
The guide explains what passkeys are and how they differ from earlier passwordless approaches. It sets out an eight-step implementation path.
