Comment on Google will now make passkeys the default for personal accounts

  That’s why they invented chargers, eh.

  But more seriously, there are recovery procedures if you lose a phone with or without a backup and if you are willing to share the keys with a cloud provider, you can also store them there and use them on any of your devices.

  Or you can get something like a yubikey if the battery aspect is really that problematic for you.

    The fact is that I fail to see something obviously wrong with outrageously long/complicated passwords managed by e.g. Bitwarden or the likes.

      Bitwarden is also supporting passkeys, so it won’t make a difference for their users whether they use passwords or passkeys.

      And the fact that you don’t see anything wrong is more a you problem. Boomer mentality, dude. Don’t became one.

        It would probably be better for you to explain what’s wrong and not just call them a boomer as if that explains it.

        What do you see that’s wrong with it that we don’t if I may ask?

      Long passwords can still be phished. Passkeys cannot. It’s a huge upgrade.

        I don’t think so, but whatever.

  My understanding of Apple Keychain is that every credential is useable from every device, and can be backed up and restored to a new device. Most importantly Apple doesn’t have access, although we have to trust them on that
