As the table shows, the highest level of security is achieved by moving away from passwords entirely. This is where the concept of a —the Samsung Passkey —comes into play. A passkey is a modern, phishing-resistant credential based on the FIDO2 and WebAuthn standards. It essentially is a cryptographic key pair that works like a high-quality digital signature. One part is a public key that is registered with the online service (like Samsung), but the crucial private key is securely stored on your Galaxy device in an encrypted storage system protected by Samsung Knox. When you sign in, the service challenges your phone, and you use your biometrics (fingerprint) or screen lock to "unlock" and use the private key to authorize the connection. This ensures that even if a hacker manages to steal data from Samsung's servers or tricks you into visiting a fake login page, they cannot access your account because your high-quality private key remains safely on your device and is never shared.
