Passkeys: A Breakthrough Step for Workforce Authentication on Shared Computers
summary
Claims that Passkeys eliminate passwords for shared devices by turning existing employee badges into sync Passkey credentials and using a browser extension plus card readers. IDmelon builds a workflow that registers badges as badge-as-security key passkeys, supports shared accounts, and adds a double‑tap logout. Three pilots: 130 workers on 100 Windows PCs, 3,800 seasonal staff with 800 kiosk users, and shared iPad clinical carts. Login drops to ~3–5 seconds, USB wear and key distribution problems disappear, and deployments succeed without issuing new hardware.
