After sixty years of password resets, forgotten credentials, and phishing attacks, the authentication landscape is finally shifting — and 2026 marks the tipping point. In this episode, we break down what passkeys actually are, why over a billion people have already adopted them, and what the regulatory push from NIST, CISA, and global financial regulators means for your organisation. Passwords aren’t dead yet, but for the first time, they’re genuinely on the way out.
We have all that coming up next, in this week’s podcast!
