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

  You’re mentioning how it’s an old solution as if that was some sort of argument. If you’re not using it as an argument then it seems kinda pointless to bring it up.

  I said the exact opposite. If the old thing works for you, go ahead and stay on it, but don’t complain about the rest of the world improving and moving forward.

  I’m not sure if you even realize you’re doing it but you’re doing it again, implying that it’s better because it’s newer. That’s not a very solid argument.

  And I answered him, he just doesn’t want to know. I can’t solve that.

  I know you’ve mentioned some aspects but I’m still wondering, in your opinion, what would be the technical reason that the password database model with long and complicated passwords would be worse than the passkey setup. Or is it that they’re as good but passkey might be a lot simpler to some folk?

    Sorry, your arguing against some strawman here.

    Keep using passwords if that’s your preferred solution.

    Not my beef if you can’t see how MFA is stronger than something that can be copy-pasted in a MITM attack.

      Would be a lot easier to see it if you tried to actually explain your position tbh

        I did.

        Passkeys = open standard, more secure by design, multi-factor.

        Passwords = bad track record, easily compromised.

        Can’t dumb it down much more than that chief.
