The NCSC (part of GCHQ) announces that passkeys should be consumers' first-choice login method, stating they are generally more secure and user-friendly than passwords (even with two-step verification). The guidance, based on a new technical report presented at CYBERUK, highlights passkeys' resistance to phishing, notes industry adoption (e.g., Google, eBay, PayPal), and advises using password managers and 2SV when passkeys are unavailable.
