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.

    If they want to be a Boomer and stick to 20th century solutions, why should I care?
    
    If it works for them, fine. Nothing wrong with that.
    
    It’s obviously not working for most people. Most people reuse weak passwords and get their passwords hacked. Passkeys solve that for those users.
    
    That’s why the whole industry is shifting to passkeys.

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

    Mostly phishing. Passkeys can’t be phished. And really, passwords are awful in general for security purposes. You don’t have to use your phone or google or apple or whatever.
    
    I actually have a physical usb key that I use as a passkey. Its just a more secure login implementation and will likely be the only option in the future.

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

    I don’t think so, but whatever.

    What do you mean? Do you not believe the anti-phishing features will work as described for a reason?
