Passkeys are not a trap

Security researcher Scott Helme has published an article arguing that passkeys, the passwordless login technology backed by major platforms, are not a trap for users despite concerns about vendor lock-in and platform dependence. The piece pushes back against criticism that passkeys tie people to specific ecosystems, and it is drawing active debate among technologists weighing the convenience of passwordless authentication against worries about portability and control.

Why now: Ongoing debate about whether passkeys lock users into specific platforms has made defenses of the technology a talking point.
