What remotely attested passkeys will really start being adopted for -- blocking consumer AI agent use.

Think about how many billable products are essentially convenience automation on top of a user's existing access in a platform?

What if consumers start using AI agents to interact with platforms in ways that skip those billing toll gates (because their agents are remixing actions / data on the user side)?

Both the intended (I'm skipping a premium charge) and unintended (I used a hacked agent and/or my agent went awry) are going to become major issues for companies in the next 5 years.

And the question will be asked "Can't we just ban user AI from using our app?"

Attested passkeys are going to be an awfully tempting option to reach for as an answer. Especially for banks. (Fuck banks' technology stacks)
