Passkeys & Two Factor Authentication
Thursday, September 17, 2026, at 7:00 p.m. Eastern Time
In the world of online security, when a public key and a private key when combined, create a passkey that can unlock your account. Passkeys have plenty of benefits; for example, they cannot be guessed or shared. Also, passkeys resist some phishing attempts because they’re unique to the sites they’re created for, so they won’t work on fraudulent lookalikes. This presentation will examine what passkeys are, how to set them up and why you should consider using them.
