Passkey SAT Episode

It would be great to see an episode dedicated to Passkeys and the future of phishing-resistant authentication. There still seems to be a significant knowledge gap among end users around what passkeys are, why they’re needed, and how they differ from more traditional MFA methods such as SMS, voice calls, and TOTP authenticator codes.
The episode could explain not only how passkeys work and why they provide stronger protection against phishing and credential theft, but also cover other forms of phishing-resistant MFA.
This topic is becoming increasingly relevant as organizations move away from legacy authentication methods. Microsoft has announced plans to phase out SMS- and voice-based authentication methods beginning in February 2027, which makes this a timely opportunity to help users understand where authentication is headed, why the industry is making this transition, and what they should expect as passkeys and other phishing-resistant methods become more widely adopted.
An episode that breaks this down in approachable, non-technical terms could help users understand that passkeys aren’t simply another MFA option—they represent a broader shift toward authentication methods designed to eliminate many of the weaknesses associated with passwords and traditional MFA.

I think that's an excellent idea and especially relevant given the Microsoft changes! Thanks so much Tyler!
I've added an episode tentatively titled "Modern Authentication" as planned for later this year.
