Yubico, the maker of hardware security keys, has unveiled the YubiKey Bio, its first key to support biometric authentication for passwordless logins and multi-factor authentication (2FA)

The launch of the YubiKey Bio comes as tech giants transition away from traditional password-based logins, a prime target for cyberattacks. Microsoft recently rolled out a passwordless sign-in option to all consumer accounts, and Google this year announced plans to eventually eliminate the password.
