A new study reveals that passkeys—widely promoted as a safer login method compared with passwords—may unintentionally expose users to serious risks in situations involving interpersonal abuse. The research introduces the first framework for analyzing how digital authentication tools can be exploited in contexts such as intimate partner violence, elder abuse and human trafficking.
I’m guessing they expect password managers to be protected by a master password, and passkeys to be freely available once you have (brief) access to the device?
I’m guessing in some abusive relationships the abused forces access to the password manager, so that wouldn’t be better.
Well yeah no password protects against a maniac with a wrench, but that’s not what this study is about
