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. 🔑

    Since I use a good password manager. And use TOTP on everything I can. Which admittedly I do store in my password manager as well. I don’t think passkey really improves security very much in my case.

    That being said though I’m a big fan of passkeys and use them everywhere I can. But I don’t store them on devices only in my password manager. So I don’t have to worry about if I lose a device.

    I think where passkeys really shine though is for people who still aren’t using a password manager. While I’ve tried to get everyone I know using bitwarden most still don’t. And the ones that do still don’t have half of there accounts in it. They are still reusing passwords across multiple sites. So I think passkeys will massively increase security for the majority of ppl. And for those of us using password managers I still think its a slight improvement to convenience.
