In order to gain a competitive edge, businesses are working on improving user experiences because a reduction in login friction may convince customers to choose one provider over another: To generate and remember multiple passwords at once is impossible. A forgotten password is frequently difficult to alter, too. Users regularly choose passwords that are easier for them to remember as a result.

Human physical characteristics, such as fingerprinting, the retina, iris, palm, speech, and voice, among others, are used in biometrics to assess and authenticate people. The non-repudiation, non-transferable, and non-identifiable feature of this authentication method, which offers a high level of security against fraud, is one of its main advantages and has led to its wide adoption.

North America dominated the market in 2021, bringing in more than 39% of global revenue. Passwordless authentication technology can improve user experience and security while also lowering total cost of ownership and increasing investment in developed nations like the United States, Canada, and Mexico. These benefits serve as major market expansion drivers. Growing data security concerns in these countries have also led to the expansion of passwordless authentication. The region's increasing use of technologies like artificial intelligence (AI) and the internet of things (IoT)is also helping the market's growth.
