  • Because of how passkeys work, they are better by default. The site you are logging into doesn’t get any secrets to keep, the passkey identifies you and the control of it is on your side.

    Where you are correct is that if the company has ‘I forgot my passkey please email me’ that makes the security no better than email, which is a shame.

    The issue of storage of passkeys is also one to consider, like another comment said, pick something like Bitwarden to store them, not something vendor specific like Apple or Google.

    I’m talking about this part:

    that’s just even more confusing for people picking between Linux distributions and desktop environments.

    Being exempt from building or using the system doesn’t save Linux and open source from being locked out of the room by companies who then require it by law.

    Which seems to imply that they think open source projects should do it because they will face adoption issue. Which might be true, but really we need to stop these laws from happening in the first place. I will grant that the poster does not attribute foot nor bad to the situation.
