Use cases

An organization needs a way to quickly and securely migrate to passwordless authentication, without disruption.

Challenge

Relying on phones and tokens authenticates the device not the person and introduces cost and compatibility issues.

Outcome

By deploying the client via Microsoft Intune, the organization quickly enrolls its employees and switches to biometric or badge-based authentication.

A hospital does not allow phones in clinical environments and doesn’t want to use expensive, easily lost tokens.

Challenge

Finding a reliable, secure, robust authentication method for clinical systems that doesn’t use phones or third-party tokens.

Outcome

Using BIO-key Passkey:YOU, the hospital quickly migrates to using staff ID badges, which staff must always carry, for security and convenience.

A university needs a way to securely identify online or remote students before they take an examination.

Challenge

BIO-key case studies

First National Bank of Long Island

Password authentication: a security and usability limitation

To meet the required security standards, the bank had increased the complexity of its password requirements to the point of introducing unacceptable user friction.

Challenge

To meet security requirements passwords were too complex for staff to use. Front-line staff were frustrated, and IT staff were overwhelmed with password-support requests.

Outcome

Using BIO-key Portalguard and fingerprint  readers, the bank provided one-touch access to a whole range of applications, reducing and IT workloads while improving security.

Frequently asked questions

Passkey:YOU is a drop-in replacement for FIDO security keys, delivering strong, phishing-resistant authentication without requiring users to carry a device or key. Instead of relying on a physical token or mobile phone, Passkey:YOU uses your fingerprint through a workstation-mounted scanner and presents the authentication to the relying party via a standard FIDO interface — with no integration work required. It gives enterprises the full security and usability benefits of FIDO, while removing the operational burden of distributing, managing, and replacing hardware keys.

Yes. Passkey:YOU is designed to be device-agnostic. Because it uses server-side identity-bound biometrics, users can authenticate from any approved device without needing to re-enroll. This makes it ideal for hybrid workforces, shared workstations, and environments where users frequently switch devices.

Passkey:YOU follows strict privacy and security standards. Biometric data is:

  • Encrypted and stored centrally in a secure, compliant environment
  • Never stored on the device or transmitted in raw form
  • Bound to the user, not the device, ensuring that credentials cannot be reused or spoofed

This architecture supports compliance with regulations like GDPR, HIPAA, and CCPA.

Yes. Passkey:YOU integrates with existing Identity and Access Management (IAM) platforms using standards-based protocols such as SAML, OAuth 2.0, and OpenID Connect. It can be deployed alongside or within existing authentication workflows, making it easy to adopt without overhauling your infrastructure.

Enrollment is simple and secure:

  • User identity is verified through an initial onboarding process.
  • Biometric data is captured using a supported scanner or device.
  • The biometric profile is securely stored and linked to the user’s identity.
  • Once enrolled, users can authenticate from any approved device using their biometric—no passwords or tokens required.
