Security researcher Scott Helme has published a blog post titled 'Passkeys Are Not a Trap', pushing back against skepticism around passkey adoption. He argues that concerns that passkeys lock users into specific platforms are overstated, and that the passwordless login technology remains a genuine improvement over traditional passwords. The piece has drawn active discussion, with readers debating the trade-offs between convenience, security and vendor lock-in.
