Why Consumer Authentication Is Broken

[fuzzfactor]

As long as there is any need for authentication, the upside from consumers will be drastically limited no matter what you do.

That's one big elephant in the room that a strong sense of "broken" comes from.

I think passkeys will bring us automatic authentication, where you can establish an automatic login with consent across all operating systems. The operating system would silently log you in the background. Do you think this could lead to privacy discussions, even if it adds security?

What do you mean by this?
