Yubico, the pioneer of phishing-resistant authentication and creator of the original passkey, the YubiKey, today announced the general availability of its YubiKey 5.8 – marking an expansion of the role of the passkey from secure authentication to include verifiable, hardware-backed authorisation.
The new firmware delivers a foundation for secure enterprise workflows across identity wallets, document signing and AI-driven approvals, while also providing developers with the critical capabilities needed to test, design and deploy these next-generation security features early.
