Enabling enterprises to build modern passkey authentication for their workforce

Move aside, passwords. Enterprises are ready for passkeys. 

In a recent Bitwarden survey, over 80% of developers surveyed say they are in the process of implementing passkeys for workforce authentication, driven to provide employees a more streamlined and secure way of signing into their business applications. 

Fueled by the demand for modern passwordless experiences, Bitwarden Passwordless.dev has seen rapid user adoption – the developer toolkit, built on FIDO2 WebAuthn standards, provides an extensive, easy-to-deploy API for integrating passkeys into customer-facing websites and custom enterprise applications. According to an Oracle report, the average company has 464 internal applications used by different departmental and enterprise-wide workflows. 

Delivering on the promise to save hours of passkey development engineering – either as a primary or secondary form of authentication –  Bitwarden further strengthened the Bitwarden Passwordless.dev enterprise plan with event log and self-hosting features. 

Most enterprises maintain a consistent practice of monitoring event logs to gain insights into system performance, watch for security vulnerabilities, and keep track of critical events. The new Bitwarden Passwordless.dev event log feature allows enterprises to achieve business compliance and greater control and oversight when moving to passwordless authentication. Administrators now have visibility into data points such as passkey authentication activities and details around Bitwarden Passwordless.dev API calls.

With this new release, developers can select to self host the Bitwarden Passwordless.dev API and admin console on Docker Linux containers, ensuring that passkey authentication flows are only accessible within a VPN for greater security and control. The self host feature is currently in beta. 

Bitwarden Passwordless.dev simplies workforce authentication, enabling enterprises to build passkey authentication without having to replace or change existing authentication workflows and infrastructures. The Enterprise plan, which includes the full SDK for passkeys, unlimited applications, and unlimited console administrators, costs $3 per month / per user, based on a monthly subscription.
