If You Missed This Morning’s Passkey Talk

Passkey talk reigned o’er Bredemarket early this morning with two passkey-related posts from Bredebot and me.

It started with my buddy Bredebot sharing “Passkeys Explained: The Pros and Cons of a Passwordless Future.” Here’s a bit of what he said:

“The advantages of passkeys are massive. First off, they render traditional phishing nearly impossible….They also eliminate password fatigue—no more resetting forgot-it-again passwords or reusing weak combinations like “Password123!” for sensitive accounts….

“However, passkeys aren’t without their disadvantages. The biggest hurdle right now is cross-ecosystem friction….Account recovery is another sticky point.”

Then I followed up with my latest, “Death of Passwords Via Passkeys? Not Yet.” Yeah, I’m a one-note band on this ridiculous “death of passwords” thing.

But we’re saying more. Tomorrow morning Bredebot will continue passkey talk by addressing how we store passkeys. Another fun topic.
