Tim Cappalli posted on Link Blog on Feb. 27, 2026, urging the identity industry to stop using passkeys to encrypt user data. He argues that passkeys, while excellent for phishing-resistant authentication, are frequently lost by users, making encrypted data irrecoverable without robust recovery mechanisms. The post recommends keeping passkeys for authentication only and adopting separate key-recovery or custodial solutions.
