Authenticate 2025 Keynote | Ricky Mondello, Apple | Get the Most Out of Passkeys
YouTube video by FIDO Alliance
www.youtube.com
I gave an opening keynote at the FIDO Alliance’s “Authenticate” conference a few weeks ago! My 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. [1/2]

The data this project gathers makes strong passwords more compatible with website requirements across the web. It makes it faster to change a password on websites when initiated from a password manager. It helps merge identical entries from different, but related, domains together. [2/3]

The hairdresser holds up the mirror so I can see the back of my haircut but she accidentally uses the mirror that reveals how you die. I see my 80-year-old self tumbling down a hill after slacklining for the 1st time. I never know how to react in these situations, so I just mumble "wow I love it"
