On this episode of The Vergecast, we figure out passkeys once and for all.

Passkeys: how do they work? No, like, seriously. It’s clear that the industry is increasingly betting on passkeys as a replacement for passwords, a way to use the internet that is both more secure and more user-friendly. But for all that upside, it’s not always clear how we, the normal human users, are supposed to use passkeys. You’re telling me it’s just a thing… that lives on my phone? What if I lose my phone? What if you steal my phone?

    It’s clear that the industry is increasingly betting on passkeys as a replacement for passwords, a way to use the internet that is both more secure and more user-friendly.

    But for all that upside, it’s not always clear how we, the normal human users, are supposed to use passkeys.

    On this episode of The Vergecast, we bring in an expert: Anna Pobletts, the head of passwordless (best title ever?)

    She’s convinced that passkeys are the future but also has some ideas on the right (and not-so-right) way to get started.

    Vee weighs in on Fossil’s exit from the market, the rise of the smart ring, and much more.
