Hey Mews Community,Â
Ever misplaced a key and found yourself locked outâor worse, relying on a spare hidden under the doormat?Â
Now imagine a digital key: one you canât lose, and hackers canât phish. Theyâd need more than a doormat to find a spare. Welcome to the world of passkeys.Â
Â
ď¸ What Are Passkeys?Â
Passkeys are a modern, secure alternative to traditional passwords.Â
They use cryptographic keys stored on your device, allowing you to verify your identity using biometrics (like a fingerprint or facial recognition) or a PIN. This eliminates the need to remember complex passwords.Â
The beauty of passkeys lies in their simplicity and security. Unlike passwords, the private key never leaves your deviceâmaking it immune to phishing attacks and significantly reducing the risk of unauthorized access.Â
Â
Why Weâre Bringing Passkeys to MewsÂ
While tools like 2-Factor Authentication (2FA) with apps like Google or Microsoft Authenticator have strengthened account security, they arenât foolproof. Our tech-savvy community knows that phishing attacks can cleverly mimic real login flows, tricking users into sharing their verification codes.Â
Just picture this: Youâre logging in from a new device, but you donât remember our URL is https://app.mews.com. So, you Google âMews loginâ and end up on https://app.mews.com/âa page that looks convincing enough for you to enter your credentials and your precious 2FA code. Sound familiar? Â
We want you to feel empowered, not just protected. Thatâs why weâre introducing passkeys at Mews, with a focus on:Â
-
User Convenience: No more juggling codesâjust tap or scan and youâre in.Â
-
Enhanced Security: Passkeys are phishing-proof by design.Â
-
Seamless Experience: Less hassle, more smilesÂ
A Glimpse into TomorrowÂ
Imagine logging into your account with just a tap of your phone or a click on your browser. No more password anxiety. No more phishing traps. Just secure, intuitive accessâthe way it should be.Â
Weâre building a passkey experience tailored to the needs of the Mews community.Â
