Passwords have been the foundation of digital security for decades — but that foundation is starting to crack.

In this episode of Act on Tech, Alex breaks down the quiet but powerful shift happening in authentication: the rise of passkeys. Major platforms like Apple, Google, and Microsoft are pushing password less login systems built on cryptographic standards that eliminate phishing risks and remove the human error factor from security.

But what does this actually mean for small business owners?

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why passwords are no longer enough
• How passkeys work (in plain English)
• Whether passkeys are ready for business adoption
• The risks of ignoring this transition
• Practical steps you can take right now

Most cyberattacks don’t start with sophisticated hacking — they start with someone typing a password into the wrong place. Passkeys aim to end that vulnerability.

If you’re running a small business and still relying on traditional login methods, this episode will help you understand where authentication is heading — and how to prepare without overreacting.

Technology is evolving. Your security strategy should evolve with it.

Listen now and stay ahead.
