@rmondello@hachyderm.io if I'm already using a password manager, passkeys are basically an equivalent user experience. Are there reasons to use them anyway?

@jeromechoo@masto.ai yes, because the servers never have your password or any secret information, so you are safe even if they are hacked

@jeromechoo@masto.ai @rmondello@hachyderm.io Nah they’re not the same as Passkeys are asymmetric. Eg a compromised server/service can’t leak your creds as they don’t hold the private key.
