Identiverse

Another session on passkeys? Well we’re entering year four, and passkeys are available to billions of users. However, widespread availability hasn’t necessarily led to widespread understanding. From concerns about workforce suitability to fears of biometric theft and vendor lock-in, the same old myths are evolving into new misunderstandings. This session revisits the passkey landscape to address the questions that remain after another year of massive growth. We’ll tackle myths regarding sync fabrics, workforce usage, credential manager portability, and more. This session will provide a reality check on what passkeys actually do, what they don’t, which capabilities are available for different use cases, and how to separate marketing hype and sensationalist headlines from facts.

A session at Identiverse 2025 which explores the nuanced dynamics between passkeys and verifiable digital credentials, and their technological foundations across usability, privacy, trust models, and ecosystems with the goal of answering whether passkeys and verifiable digital credentials are friends or foes—and how these technologies might collaboratively shape the future of secure, user-centric digital identity systems.
