What are your thoughts on passkey login? (lemmy.world)

A lot of services support passkeys. Microsoft even has an option to make my account "passwordless". Since they are more secure than passwords, will you be switching some / most of your accounts to passkeys any time soon? Interested to hear everyone's thoughts on passkeys. 🔑

They are convenient, but there's only a couple sites that support full login with passkeys. I'm reading between the lines of your comments none of them are sites you'd use (Microsoft, Github, Google, etc...)

Someone else commented KeepassXC has an open issue about passkeys, perhaps they'll add support sometimes too.

You're not really missing anything yet, to be honest. I've mostly tried them out just out of interest, and it's still very much aimed at people using Google or Apple...
