Passkeys are a trap, argues new critique
Original: Passkeys are a trap
A new essay argues that passkeys, the passwordless login technology promoted by Apple, Google and Microsoft as the future of authentication, are actually a trap users should avoid. The author's core complaint is that passkeys often lock credentials inside specific platforms and ecosystems, undermining portability and leaving users dependent on individual vendors. The piece is drawing active debate among developers and security-minded readers, many of whom share concerns about platform lock-in while others defend the technology's security benefits.
Why now: Fresh criticism of a widely promoted authentication technology is sparking debate about vendor lock-in and the future of passwordless login.
