The End of Password Database Breaches: Zero-Knowledge Proof Auth

Password databases represent the largest liability in modern authentication, with breaches exposing millions of hashes that attackers can eventually crack. Zero-Knowledge Proof authentication fundamentally transforms this by proving users know their password through cryptography without ever transmitting or storing it on the server. This approach eliminates the central attack surface of traditional authentication, shifting password security from a database protection problem to a cryptographic verification challenge.
