so passkey wallets don't solve the seed phrase problem they just rename concepts. Now Apple, 1Password, etc is backing up your "seed phrase" fundamentally the only people who have eliminated seed phrases are the zk folks who built wallets that can operate on zkp's of other identities

What do you define as the seed phrase problem? in my mind, the "problem" was: 1. A phrase that you have to back up, manually save etc 2. A single point of failure if you lose it Passkeys address 1 with built in passkey managers, and address 2 to some extent with automatic syncing across devices etc.

re: single point of failure -- SCW's with multiple signers is interesting, but you have the same recursive problem. Ok, I lost a key. I grab another one. I lost that one 💀 You're still "custodying" some seed phrase, passkey, or other material to enable interacting with these wallets ZK tries to solve this

Submit a transaction containing a ZKP that you custody your email address great, now all you need is your email, which is tablestakes for literally every other thing you do in life nothing to remember, nothing to lose main issue is performance (O(minutes) for proof generation). If they can fix that though...

Wait I'm not sure I'm following - you're ok with email in this scenario but not passkey etc? might be misunderstanding what you said - I imagine email also has a custody problem where if you lose access to your email, you get to the same end result.

right, the difference being-- I use my email for other things already I already HAVE to "custody" my email if i delete your passkey, which I previously did not have, i'm cooked Introducing additional burden on users, another gotcha...

Right but if you’re using Gmail for instance you’re likely keeping your passkey in Google password manager, no?
