Passwordless authentication for Jira
WebAuthn for Jira
- The FIDO2 Web Authentication (WebAuthn) is a new generation technology and a more reliable way of online authentication developed by FIDO Alliance and standardized by the W3C (World Wide Web Consortium ) recently in 2019.
WebAuthn technology allows to eliminate the risks that arise from providing passwords to emails or phones and allows people to use a fingerprint or hardware security key instead of password.
Thanks to WebAuthn for Jira add-on developed by Alpha Serve passwordless authentication is now possible for Jira users. A hardware security key and biometric on the authenticator can be used together. Several credentials can be registered for each user's convenience.

Jira contains all your project data, so it is out of question whether to protect it or not. The proper question is how to protect Jira data efficiently without causing unnecessary inconveniences on the users’ end.
Passwordless authentication eliminates the need to remember and provide passwords each time you log in to your accounts. But is this secure?
You need more than a password to validate your identity while using 2FA and to access a device. It requires the second element U2F device (fido security key).
