Wait.
“In the two years since passkeys were announced and made available for consumer use, the FIDO Alliance reported a few weeks ago, “passkey awareness has risen by 50%, from 39% familiar in 2022 to 57% in 2024.”
I don’t think that math works? Am I misinterpreting something?
- silentguy 2y ago(57-39)/39 ~= 46 I think they meant 50% increase from the 39% .
- water-data-dude 2y agoAh! It was early, my brain wasn’t working. I appreciate the restraint the HN community exercised in not mocking me, hahaha
- Eisenstein 2y ago50% of 39% is 18. Add to 39 to get 57%.

- jedberg 2y agoThat's why we use points when talking about changes in percentages. :) Imagine it was 100 people. 39 were aware. 50% of that is 20. So now 57 are aware, which is 18 more than before, which is pretty close to 20. So yeah, it was a change in 50%, but it was only 18 points higher.
