Summary
A study found that 24% of the world’s most popular websites do not support passkeys, a secure login method. The research analyzed the top 1,000 websites globally. Passkeys are considered a more secure alternative to traditional passwords and are supported by major platforms like Apple, Google, and Microsoft. The study’s findings suggest that many websites have yet to adopt this security feature.
Our Reading
The announcement sounds ambitious.
A quarter of the world’s top websites don’t support passkeys, a security feature backed by tech giants. This is despite passkeys being touted as the future of secure logins. The study’s findings are a reminder that widespread adoption of new security standards can be slow. It’s not like we haven’t seen this movie before – a new security feature is introduced, and everyone’s told to switch, but old habits die hard. The web’s password problem persists.
