  • Great article to help understand passkeys and why not to use them.

    I’ve skirted away from passkeys for years because I didn’t understand them, and admittedly, I never tried. I use a password manager, strong random passwords, and 2FA in most places where possible. (I have objections to SMS based 2FA, but that’s a different topic.

    Reflecting a bit, as hard as sites “push” use a passkey, it sets off the spidey-senses. Oh, it’s so they have more control over you, your account, and your hardware… (not always, but pinky promise we/microsoft/netflix/google/apple would never restrict/impact your selection of applications or hardware outside of our control.)
