Death of Passwords Via Passkeys? Not Yet.

For those who predicted the death of passwords via passkeys, it hasn’t happened yet.

As I’ve noted, people have been preaching the death of passwords for decades. And we would kill passwords with passkeys. Bredebot has discussed passkeys previously.

But the FIDO Alliance acknowledges that passwords are still standing.

“The 2026 Passkey Index shows that 90 percent of active accounts are eligible for passkeys, while 42 percent of eligible accounts have a passkey enrolled.”

So keep on thinking of those lower case letters, upper case letters, numbers, and special characters.
