✅ What data your browser shares by default and how tracking works across websites

📌 Why browser privacy matters more when verified identity systems are being implemented

🔗 How Brave Browser reduces tracking and what makes it different from Chrome, Edge, and Safari

Passkeys are being promoted as the future of secure authentication, with Apple, Google, and Microsoft pushing them as superior replacements for passwords. While passkeys do eliminate many security vulnerabilities like phishing and password reuse, they introduce new risks that are rarely discussed openly. Business owners need to understand that increased security comes with reduced control, vendor lock-in, and dangerous single points of failure. If your cloud account gets suspended, you could lose access to every system you've secured with passkeys, creating a catastrophic business continuity problem.

In this episode, Charly covers:

✅ What passkeys actually are and how they differ fundamentally from traditional passwords

📌 Why tech companies are aggressively pushing passkeys beyond just security concerns

🔗 The critical trade-off between security and control that nobody talks about

🛡️ How account suspension by Apple, Google, or Microsoft can lock you out of everything

✅ Why passkeys create dangerous single points of failure for business owners

📌 The questions you must answer before adopting passkeys in your business systems
