Passwordless is no longer the future; it is the majority position. There are now an estimated 5 billion passkeys in active use worldwide, with 90% consumer awareness and 75% of people having enabled a passkey on at least one account.
But adoption is not the same as habit. Only 49% of people use passkeys regularly when they are available, and 57% of organizations still rely on phishable sign-in methods as their primary route.
Why the shift is happening anyway. Passkey sign-ins succeed roughly 93% of the time versus about 63% for passwords, and one in three people reported an account compromise or breach notification in the past year.
Where UIID sits in that picture. UIID sign-in is passwordless, device-bound and biometric-secured using WebAuthn, with the credential anchored in your device's hardware security module — the same underlying technology.
And where it goes further. A passkey proves you control a device. It says nothing about who you are, and you still hold a separate account at every service. A UIID is an identity you own: one Core ID, unlimited aliases, and badges that travel with you across applications.
The honest framing: if your only goal is to stop using passwords, passkeys already do that. If your goal is to stop holding a different account at every service you touch, that is a different problem, and it is the one UIID was built for.
