I gave an opening keynote at the FIDO Alliance’s “Authenticate” conference a few weeks ago! Although it featured timely strategies and tips for professionals deploying passkeys, my primary goal was to explain, as clearly as I can, why passkeys are important and how we should use them to reduce the harm that passwords cause.

I’m really proud of this talk and I hope you’ll watch it and share it with others. I put care in to making it approachable while still delivering my perspective and insights to security professionals. If you don’t get the “why” behind passkeys, this talk will help fill that gap.

@rmondello You're a really good public speaker, Ricky. You speak slowly, clearly, and communicate effectively. Great job!

I'm a web developer and I’d like to begin the investigation of supporting passkeys in our web apps. Do you have any good resources for what they might look like on the client & server?
