Abstract
With the rise of sophisticated authentication bypass techniques, passwords are no longer considered a reliable method for securing authentication systems. In recent years, new authentication technologies have shifted from traditional password-based logins to passwordless security. Among these, Time-Based One-Time Passwords (TOTP) remain one of the most widely used mechanisms, while Passkeys are emerging as a promising alternative with growing adoption. This paper highlights the key techniques used during the implementation of the authentication system with Passkey technology. It also suggests considerations for integrating components during system development to ensure that users can securely access their accounts with minimal complexity, while still meeting the requirements of a robust authentication system that balances security, usability, and performance. Additionally, by examining…
