The Hawcx startup aims to eliminate the limitations of passkeys by offering a passwordless authentication technology.
Founded in 2023 by Riya Shanmuqam, Hawcx was established by a specialist who has worked at companies like Adobe, Google, and New Relic. The startup offers a new authentication system instead of passwords.
The Hawcx technology does not require storing or transmitting secret keys on the user's device. New keys are generated and not saved each time the user logs in, allowing it to work even with older devices.
The startup aims to be a universal authentication platform, planning integrations that include document verification, video confirmation, and background checks. Hawcx has raised $3 million in investment and is preparing to launch pilot projects with banks and gaming companies.
This solution enhances security for users while simplifying the authentication process.
