A Company's Incorrect Passkey Process Can Lead to Phishing Attacks As I wrote in Part 1 of this series, Unlike passwords, passkeys are resistant to phishing attacks. Built into the passkey’s cryptographic protocol, the domain of the website you are logging into will be checked. You cannot be phished with passkeys. But unfortunately, I am already seeing an example...
