You’d think that as someone who grew up having to remember passwords for everything from email accounts to banking apps and online games, I’d be fully on board with the idea of a passwordless future. I still remember getting all excited when Apple announced passkeys alongside iOS 16 at WWDC 2022. If there was any company that could pull something like this off, it was Apple. A year later, Google doubled down on passkeys, and that’s when it seemed like the industry was coming together to ditch passwords for good.
