Going Beyond Passwords: The Future of User Authentication
summary
Claims passwords cause most breaches backed by a cited Verizon stat of 84% of breaches, demo shows replacing username+password in a Next.js app with Auth0 passwordless magic links/OTP/SMS, and explores MFA via OTP, SMS/voice, WebAuthn FIDO keys (one hardware key failing blocks access, backup stored offshore), and device-backed passkeys (public/private keypair). Demos use Auth0 dashboard toggles; major services (Google, GitHub, Amazon) already roll out passkey support.
