Hey Mews Community,
Ever misplaced a key and found yourself locked outāor worse, relying on a spare hidden under the doormat?
Now imagine a digital key: one you canāt lose, and hackers canāt phish. Theyād need more than a doormat to find a spare. Welcome to the world of passkeys.
šļø What Are Passkeys?
Passkeys are a modern, secure alternative to traditional passwords.
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.
The beauty of passkeys lies in their simplicity and security. Unlike passwords, the private key never leaves your deviceāmaking it immune to phishing attacks and significantly reducing the risk of unauthorized access.
š” Why Weāre Bringing Passkeys to Mews
While tools like 2-Factor Authentication (2FA) with apps like Google or Microsoft Authenticator have strengthened account security, they arenāt foolproof. Our tech-savvy community knows that phishing attacks can cleverly mimic real login flows, tricking users into sharing their verification codes.
Just picture this: Youāre logging in from a new device, but you donāt remember our URL is https://app.mews.com. So, you Google āMews loginā and end up on https://app.mews.com/āa page that looks convincing enough for you to enter your credentials and your precious 2FA code. Sound familiar? š£
We want you to feel empowered, not just protected. Thatās why weāre introducing passkeys at Mews, with a focus on:
-
User Convenience: No more juggling codesājust tap or scan and youāre in.
-

š A Glimpse into Tomorrow
