While the passwordless authentication market presents significant opportunities, it also faces certain challenges. One of the primary hurdles is the high initial implementation cost associated with deploying new hardware (like biometric scanners) and integrating passwordless solutions with existing IT infrastructure. This can be a deterrent for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) with budget constraints.

According to CoherentMI, passwordless authentication market is estimated to be valued at USD 22.14 Bn in 2025 and is expected to reach USD 61.45 Bn by 2032. It is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.7% from 2025 to 2032.

Another challenge is ensuring interoperability among different passwordless authentication solutions and platforms. The absence of globally accepted testing frameworks can hinder seamless integration and widespread adoption. Passwordless Authentication Market Limited user education and potential skepticism regarding the security and privacy of biometric data also pose challenges to market growth. Concerns about the reliability of backup authentication methods in case the primary passwordless method fails and the potential for devices to be compromised are other factors that need to be addressed.
