Standard
WebAuthn is a W3C standard for passwordless, phishing-resistant login using public-key credentials like passkeys, biometrics, or hardware security keys.
FIDO's export format for passkeys has only begun shipping in iOS 26 and Android, with the FIDO Alliance counting 5 billion passkeys in use. The key that makes them phishing-resistant cannot be copied off the device, so adopters need a plan for lost devices and changed managers.
Reality
Laravel's two first-party passkeys packages, laravel/passkeys and @laravel/passkeys, run WebAuthn registration and login, according to a dev.to tutorial. The tutorial's own config leaves password reset switched on, so adopting the stack adds passkeys next to passwords.

Abnormal says iAuthFlow v2 uses a phished Google session to register an operator-controlled passkey. The standard playbook of revoking sessions and resetting the password does not remove it.

The add-on shipped to Mozilla's store as a dispatcher and took its instructions afterwards from a page it opened itself, on a domain built to resemble googleusercontent.com.

Jason Page has submitted his encrypted inheritance app to Apple with public source, a default release schedule of 90 days of silence plus 35 cancellable days, and a published list of what has not been tested.

CloudSEK says the kit's JavaScript disrupts FIDO2 on a cloned Microsoft 365 login and steers the victim to TOTP, SMS or push, so the tenant's authentication strength policy decides whether the relay works.

BleepingComputer counts at least 39 published passkey attack methods. Most of the ones it names need code on the endpoint or control of a sync account first, and that is where the defensive work actually lands.

Island says the kit relays Microsoft 365 sign-ins behind genuine Docusign envelopes and legitimate Microsoft or Google redirects, leaving sender reputation nothing to grade.

Two parameters, #95 and #96, would add a CLZ opcode and a P-256 precompile. The software deadline falls nine days before the vote, and stragglers fork themselves off the chain.

Unit 42's three techniques all assume malware is already running on the box. That makes this an endpoint and browser-profile problem, not a reason to stall a passkey deployment.
