Have I Been Pwned - A Passkey Journey
I am sure most of you have heard of passkeys by now. But how do they actually work? What's wrong with normal passwords? What is the difference? Do they improve user experience? What problems do they solve?
We decided to implement passkeys for Have I Been Pwned, gathered metrics and a lot of other data just so we could tell you about it!
I'll show you what we did, what technology we used and if it has made things better or worse, so you can do it too!
