It was at WWDC22 that Apple talked about adding support for passkeys. They seem like a Very Big Deal because they literally replace passwords for login and are better in every way. And crucially, it’s not some Apple-only thing, but an open standard (FIDO). I only bring up Apple first because I’m an Apple kinda guy, but passkeys are Chrome/Android also. Adam Langley has a nice developer-focused guide on implementing them.
I thought it would be good to have a blog post about them in these here early days so I can look back on it and be like wow yeah that really was the beginning of a big shift or wow weird that we thought that was gonna take hold. Hoping for the former.
