What passwordless means
Users prove identity without entering a reusable secret. A device-bound credential protected by secure hardware and local authentication can provide stronger assurance than a badge alone.
Wallet credentials
Digital wallets support remote provisioning and central revocation tied to HR or identity lifecycle systems.
Identity convergence
A shared authoritative identity can govern application sign-in and physical entry, reducing duplicate records and improving auditability.
Security and resilience
Phone possession can be combined with biometric verification, while fallback processes remain necessary for dead batteries, lost devices and visitors.
Conclusion
Passwordless physical access is part of a broader shift toward unified cyber-physical identity governance.
