There’s a hassle?

Every time I was prompted to use one by plugging my phone in to my computer nothing happened. That was a little over a year ago.

It’s been a very seamless experience with Bitwarden. Pretty much “click passkey, now logged in”.

I mean when I was trying to set one up. I wasn’t ever prompted to use a password manager. It just said to plug my phone into my computer. I did. And it didn’t detect anything. With user experience in setup that poor I don’t trust them yet.

I haven’t even bothered into understanding what passkeys are (I know, I should check it out thoroughly) but I think that at its core it requires your phone, and as I like messing around with my hardware installing custom roms and rooting I suppose this method will be pursued by Google so, just as NFC payments, I don’t give a single fuck about it 🤣
