Your name or username doesn’t unlock an account—reused secrets do. We dig into why the internet’s copy‑and‑paste approach to passwords keeps failing and show how passkeys flip the model from disclosure to proof. With a device‑bound private key and simple gestures like a tap or a glance, sign‑ins get faster while phishing and credential stuffing lose their fuel. No more shared secrets to steal, replay, or resell.

We walk through what passwordless really means, not the hype: identity proven with something you have and something you are, anchored by public‑key cryptography. You’ll hear why phishing resistance comes from origin binding, how passkeys eliminate reuse, and where support tickets drop when resets vanish. Then we slow down on the trade‑offs. Device loss and account recovery are the new attack surface, so we break down the real risks—weak backups, stale phone numbers, and social engineering at support—and how to close those gaps without adding friction.

To get you moving, we share a practical plan: protect core accounts starting with email, then Apple, Google, or Microsoft, your password manager, and financial logins. Turn on passkeys where offered, keep strong MFA where they aren’t, prefer apps or hardware keys over SMS, and lock down recovery with verified contacts, backup codes, and at least one additional trusted device. Along the way, we debunk common myths—no, sites don’t keep your biometrics; no, passwordless isn’t a magic shield; yes, daily use is simpler than passwords while planning shifts to recovery.
