How do we design cybersecurity that cares about a specific user? We have two new papers coming in early 2026:
🔹 CybAS: A 3-factor scale (Present, Future, Control) to measure the psychological burden of digital threats. Conditionally accepted for #CHI2026 in Barcelona. 🔹 Digital Safety for Migrants: A participatory design study to create AI-enabled advice interfaces with international students from the Global South. Accepted at #USEC2026.
Windows 11 recently improved its passkey experience, part of a broader pattern worth paying attention to. We've been working hard within the FIDO Alliance to remove friction around passkeys, since improving usability is one of the most important drivers to boosting passwordless adoption in both the consumer and enterprise worlds. Moves like these help passkeys become just as operationally viable as they are technically sound.
There’s also a benefit to this architectural pattern that people miss at first glance that enables passkeys to really scale in real-world environments. Check out my blog to learn more.
