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?

>this could lead to privacy discussions, even if it adds security

These discussions have a lot of catching up to do.

I'm no expert, but I think privacy needs to be the highest priority. The purpose of security measures should be first to preserve privacy, as they work to mitigate other threats if possible.

I just don't think I would be a happy camper with a single point of failure for both identity and security.

Really have no use whatsoever for a Microsoft account or anything like that.

It could be combined, there are solutions to that.
