What the fuck are passkeys and why are they everywhere now?

by Dan Lew | at Minnebar20 | 11:35 – 12:15 in Theater | View Schedule

It seems like every time you login to a website nowadays, it asks you to create a passkey. If you’re like me, you initially assumed this was some sort of scam. But now that it’s everywhere, you’re beginning to wonder what it’s all about and why every website is pushing it constantly.

This talk will cover the basics of what a passkey is, how they came to be, and what you should do about them now that they’re here.
