Join our World Password and Passkey Day expert Q&A 2025

Hey everyone!

World Password and Passkey Day is almost here, and there's no better time to talk about something we all rely on daily—secure authentication.

Did you know that a staggering 60% of hacking-related breaches are tied to weak or stolen passwords? As more of our lives and businesses move online, it's crucial to rethink how we manage our digital security.

To mark the occasion, we're bringing back our Ask the Experts community series! This year, we're diving into everything from password and passkey management to broader cybersecurity best practices—and we want you to be a part of it.



At Zoho, our commitment lies in innovation and robust security. We're dedicated to providing businesses with the most user-friendly and secure authentication methods available. You may already know that we've implemented passkey authentication for Zoho Accounts, and even for unlocking Zoho Vault itself—so you can say goodbye to typing in your master password manually. Soon, Zoho Vault will become your central, secure hub for storing and managing all of your passkeys.

Mark your calendars for May 2 and get ready to engage with our team of experts! We’ll be available throughout the day to answer your most burning questions.

While we wait for the big day, here are a few quick action points for Zoho Vault admins to improve password security in your organization:
  1. Enable dark web monitoring to catch breached passwords and use our random password or passphrase generator to change them right away.
  2. Run password assessments to check how secure your passwords are.
  3. Set up strong password policies to make sure all passwords are robust and meet security standards.
  4. Activate two-factor authentication to boost security on all accounts.
  5. Set up emergency contacts to ensure access to important passwords during emergencies.
  6. Make sure to disable accounts and retrieve passwords when an employee leaves the company.
Already an expert? We’d love to hear your tips and insights!

Notes
Note: This isn’t a webinar—it's a live Q&A! Drop your questions below, and we’ll be answering them right here. We’ll also feature some of the most interesting ones on our social media handles.

Whether you're gradually transitioning away from passwords or diving headfirst into passkeys, Zoho Vault is here to guide you every step of the way. Let’s build a safer digital world—together. See you on May 2!

          It would be exceptionally useful to be able to assign dependencies on milestone/tasks.
