SmartHR Removes Passwords from Employee Logins with Passkey Support

SmartHR has introduced passkey-based login across its HR and labor management platform starting December 9. With this modification, passwords are no longer necessary at all. Workers are allowed to access their accounts through biometric authentication that has already been configured on their gadgets, for example, fingerprint or facial recognition.

This solves a problem most companies quietly suffer from. Passwords get reused. They get phished. People forget them at the worst possible time. Year-end tax adjustments, compliance deadlines, peak logins. That is when IT teams drown in reset requests and account unlocks.

Passkeys cut straight through that mess. No password entry. No employee ID. No email typing. Just unlock the device and you are in. Security improves because there is nothing to steal or reuse. Operational load drops because support tickets simply do not get created in the first place.

SmartHR is also extending this beyond its own platform. Using its identity provider function, employees who log in once with a passkey can access connected services like attendance or expense tools without re-authenticating.

This launch reflects a wider enterprise shift toward passwordless systems. Less friction. Fewer interruptions. Access that works quietly in the background. That is the real upgrade here.
