What the Authn? Passkeys Offer a Fresh Take to Authentication Dilemmas
summary
Passkeys are a discoverable FIDO credential that merge WebAuthn with browser/platform password managers to speed password replacement; two classes matter — synchronized passkey (backed up and synced by Apple/Google accounts) and hardware-bound passkey (attested, device-resident keys). FIDO/U2F already prevents phishing in practice, attestation and FIDO metadata prove hardware backing for audits, and use-cases differ: consumer convenience, regulated services require hardware attestation, developers and enterprises need security keys for provable, non-phishable authentication.
