Our future without passwords
summary
Passkeys replace passwords with a cryptographic key pair: the private key stays with the credential manager (Google Password Manager, iCloud Keychain) and the public key lives on the server, removing server-side secrets and preventing phishing. Weak or stolen passwords cause about 81% of hacking-related breaches. Passkeys work across Chrome, Android, Windows, Edge, MacOS, iOS and Safari, sync via end-to-end encrypted managers with QR-code or separate passkey recovery, but Linux and Firefox Android support and cross-ecosystem syncing remain works in progress; see Passkeys web and listed libraries for implementation.
