In recent years, there has been a lot of talk surrounding the need to move away from traditional passwords as a means of authentication due to their vulnerabilities to attacks such as phishing and hacking. In response, companies like Google and Apple have been developing alternative methods, such as passkeys, to provide users with more secure means of accessing their online accounts. But what exactly are passkeys, and how do they compare to traditional authentication factors like passwords and biometrics? According to a recent blog post by Google, passkeys are a new type of authentication that is easier to use and more secure than traditional passwords. They are based on public key cryptography and are resistant to attacks, as they are stored on the user’s device and are only shown to the online account when the user unlocks their phone.

The patient’s story highlights an important lesson for those struggling with autoimmune diseases - don’t be afraid to do your own research and ask your doctor to try alternative treatments if standard ones aren’t working. While doctors do their best to diagnose and treat each patient, the reality is that every patient is different and may require a unique treatment plan.
