Enhanced Security Features in RHEL 9.4: Passkey Authentication Eliminates the Need for Passwords

Red Hat announces support for Passkey login in the latest version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.4, making it an organizational operating system that embraces cutting-edge 3D identity confirmation technology.

Gone are the days of traditional password-bound accounts, as Passkey authentication steps in to thwart password leaks, repetitive password usage, and brute force attacks from the get-go. Embracing Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), Red Hat enables users to verify their identity through various methods such as biometrics or hardware keys. Collaborating with Yubico, Red Hat facilitates the use of YubiKeys for added convenience, while also accommodating other FIDO2-compliant key brands.

Additionally, with Single Sign-On (SSO), organizations can streamline login management from a centralized admin team.

TLDR: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.4 introduces Passkey support, enhancing security measures with Multi-Factor Authentication and Single Sign-On capabilities.
