The article discusses the emerging technology of passkeys, which aim to replace traditional passwords with a more secure and user-friendly authentication process. It highlights the misconceptions present in a recent article praising Bitwarden's password manager and stresses the efforts of the FIDO Alliance to educate the public. According to Mitchell Galavan of Google, the ideal user experience with passkeys should be effortless, allowing users to log in without even realizing they are using them. However, challenges and inconsistencies remain in the implementation of passkey technology.
Passkeys are an attempt to replace the password with a key that you don't have to remember or worry about at all. When you create a passkey for a website, the site spits out two pieces of code, one it saves on the server, one it saves on your device.
The experience should be seamless. You wouldn't even have to know that the passkeys are showing up on your device if you don't want to -- you're just getting to where you want to go.
