Adobe Passkey: Enhancing the Login Experience with Passwordless Authentication

Adobe, known for its innovation in creative and digital solutions, has extended its expertise into secure user authentication by supporting passkeys within its Adobe Commerce Cloud (ACC).

This step aligns with Adobe’s commitment to enhancing user experiences while ensuring robust security. By introducing passkeys, Adobe enables passwordless login for Magento and ACC users, improving security, reducing friction, and lowering exit rates during login and registration processes.

This article delves into passkeys, their benefits for Adobe Commerce Cloud login, and how to implement them with OwnID, offering businesses a seamless path to a secure, passwordless future.

What Are Passkeys?

Passkeys replace traditional passwords with cryptographic credentials that use asymmetric encryption:

  • A private key is stored securely on the user’s device and authenticated through biometrics or a PIN.
  • A public key is kept on the server, validating login attempts without exposing sensitive information.

By eliminating passwords, passkeys ensure users can log in securely and effortlessly.

When a user logs in or registers, their device securely stores the private key, while the public key is saved on the server. Authentication occurs when the user verifies their identity through biometrics or a PIN on their device, ensuring a fast, secure, and passwordless experience.

Benefits of Adding Passkeys to Adobe Commerce Apps

Improved Security Against Phishing Attacks

Passkeys ensure that only the registered device can authenticate the user, completely removing the risk of phishing and credential theft.

Effortless User Experience

With no passwords to remember or manage, passkeys offer a smooth, hassle-free login experience that keeps users engaged.

Enhanced Account Protection

By replacing passwords with cryptographic keys, passkeys eliminate weaknesses like password reuse or weak credentials, significantly boosting security.

Lower Abandonment Rates

Complex login and registration processes are a major cause of user drop-off. Passkeys streamline these steps, encouraging users to complete their journey on your site.

Reduced Support Overhead

Eliminating passwords means fewer forgotten password requests and less reliance on IT support, cutting costs and improving efficiency.

Increased User Confidence and Trust

Modern, passwordless authentication reassures customers about the safety of their accounts, fostering long-term loyalty.

Built-in Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)

Passkeys inherently combine multiple factors:

  • Device Ownership: The private key stored on the user’s device.
  • Biometric Verification: Authentication through fingerprints, facial recognition, or PIN.

By incorporating passkeys, Adobe Commerce Cloud allows businesses to enhance security, simplify user journeys, and improve customer retention, all while staying ahead in the competitive e-commerce space.

Cross-Device Usability

Adobe Commerce Cloud ensures passkeys work seamlessly across all platforms. Users can log in consistently from web browsers or mobile devices, with passkeys syncing securely via encrypted cloud storage on Apple and Google ecosystems.

Once registered on one device, passkeys can be used across others, making the authentication process simple and accessible.
