@bootlessbuck@mastodon.social @rmondello@hachyderm.io If I don't use passkeys, then if I lose my phone and buy a new one, I still need to login to my password manager to be able to login to the airline website, because I have a long random password for the airline that I can't possibly remember. But if I can use my password manager (be it Bitwarden or iCloud Keychain or whatever) then I have access to my passkeys too.

@nicolas17@social.treehouse.systems @rmondello@hachyderm.io If everything is using a passkey, how is that initial logon done? Passkeys seem to rely on an unbroken chain of access, or require some other secondary form of auth. I also question the value of passkeys for someone already using long random passwords with a pw manager. It seems the main benefit would be forcing normal users into a password manager. If they are saved in a single browser and work by “magic” this is going to be a confusing nightmare when they hit edge cases.
