The Power of Combining Identity Wallets and Passkeys
summary
Combining W3C verifiable credentials (ISO/MDL-style identity wallets) with passkeys as AAL2 means enrolling once via document + selfie proofing, storing claims in a user-controlled wallet, then binding a passkey for day-to-day login. Measured benefits include logins dropping from ~24s to ~8s (versus 60+s with OTP) and reduced phishing; U.S. rollouts already show ~150M wallet identities split across federal wallets. Practical gaps are federation (two‑party vs brokered HHS XMS), enrollment friction, and education for reuse across government, healthcare, education, and finance.
