Security researcher Scott Helme has published a blog post arguing that passkeys, the passwordless authentication standard backed by Apple, Google and Microsoft, are a genuine security improvement rather than vendor lock-in or a trap for users. The piece is being actively discussed on Hacker News, where commenters are debating the usability and adoption concerns around passkeys.

Why now: Debate over whether passkeys are trustworthy or a form of platform lock-in is ongoing among security and developer communities.
