This thread is me posting through it instead of going to therapy to do something about the immense frustration I feel every time I try to help my wife with anything computer-related. 🤪
Seriously, the issue in this thread is why I think #passkeys are a ticking time bomb. Most people don't understand how they work, or that they're linked to a single device, or that they need to maintain a backup login method. Websites that support passkeys don't do enough to communicate and enforce good habits. If we continue down the passkey path, people losing access is going to be a much bigger problem in the future, and we're not ready for it. #infosec
@jik Passkeys aren’t universally tied to a single device, at least on iOS and Windows they’re tied to your platform account and available anywhere you’re signed in with that account. At least 1Password can also handle them.
I’m curious what platform you’re on where it is tied to a device, because if that is the case it’s certainly an issue.
