Visa Launches Payment Passkey in India to Enhance Digital Payment Authentication
Visa has launched its Payment Passkey solution in India to enhance digital payment security by moving beyond passwords and one-time passwords (OTPs). The solution uses device-based authentication methods such as fingerprint, facial recognition, device PIN, or pattern, complying with India's two-factor authentication requirements. Built on globally accepted FIDO standards, Payment Passkey aims to provide a seamless, secure experience and strengthen protection against fraud. India, now the world's most tokenised market for online card payments, is entering a phase prioritizing trust alongside scale in its digital payments ecosystem.
