Email Recovery vs Passkeys: Mapping the Risks
Email recovery and passkeys both aim to restore account access, but they fail in different ways. This article explains how email-based reset flows depend on inbox security, while passkeys depend on device and authenticator trust. It maps common failure points, shows practical setup steps for each method, and includes anonymized scenarios. Readers will learn how to evaluate recovery risk, reduce account takeover exposure, and plan for lost devices without locking themselves out.
