Company Overview
About Passage
Passage by 1Password is a developer-focused identity platform that makes it easy to implement passkey authentication — the FIDO2/WebAuthn passwordless login standard — in web and mobile applications. Founded in 2022 and later acquired by 1Password, Passage provides simple SDKs and APIs that handle the complex cryptographic operations and user management required to implement passkeys, biometric authentication, and magic link sign-in without building custom identity infrastructure.
Business Model & Competitive Advantage
Passkeys represent a fundamental improvement over password-based authentication: instead of a shared secret (password) stored in a database that can be stolen, passkeys use public-key cryptography where the private key never leaves the user's device. Authentication is performed locally on the device using biometrics (Face ID, fingerprint) or a device PIN, then a cryptographic signature is sent to the server — making phishing, credential stuffing, and password database breaches impossible. Major platforms including Apple, Google, and Microsoft have standardized passkey support, making consumer adoption increasingly practical.
Competitive Landscape 2025–2026
Passage simplifies passkey implementation through pre-built UI components, user management infrastructure, and hosted authentication flows that developers can integrate in hours rather than weeks. The company positions itself as the fastest path to adding passkeys to existing applications, targeting the thousands of development teams that want to offer modern, passwordless authentication to their users without building identity infrastructure from scratch.
