The digital world runs on access, but for too long, that access has been guarded by the clunky, vulnerable system of passwords. At The Urban Herald, we believe a smarter, safer future is not only possible but already here. Enter: Passkeys.
This episode is your definitive guide to understanding and adopting passkeys in May 2025. We cut through the jargon to explain how this technology, backed by major industry players, is set to redefine online authentication.
Here's what we cover:
- Passkeys 101: From creation with biometrics or a PIN to how they actually work to keep you safe (no more shared secrets!).
- Why They Win Against Passwords: A clear look at phishing resistance, breach immunity, and cryptographic strength.
- The Convenience Factor: Say goodbye to "Forgot Password?" – we explore the seamless login experience.
- Adoption Snapshot (2025): With 15 billion+ accounts supported and 69% of consumers already using them on at least one service, we look at who's leading the charge.
- Practical Steps & Management: How to enable passkeys on your favourite services and tools (like 1Password) that can help you manage them across platforms.
- Addressing Your Questions: What if you lose your device? Are they universally supported yet? We tackle common concerns.
Join us as we explore why passkeys are more than just a new feature – they're a foundational improvement for digital life.
