@abucci @hipsterelectron@circumstances.run my new nemesis: sites that default to "use your passkey" and I'm on a fresh OS install or just never decided to make a passkey for that site.

@randomgeek@masto.hackers.town @hipsterelectron@circumstances.run Putting aside whether or not passkeys are a good idea, such patterns make me suspicious. That's a nudge: they make the usual login flow painful, and make the passkey flow as easy as possible, because the latter is what they prefer you do. I inevitably put my guard up whenever I notice a nudge, and start asking questions about why I'm being coaxed down this particular flow.
