@rmondello@hachyderm.io maybe it’s the nerd in me but I’m hesitant to use passkeys because they seem so opaque to me. Do you have any advice that might cause me to step of the ledge?

@chrisipedia@mastodon.social – I share the feeling, and I'd say: traditionally, you assume the work of writing or typing your passwords and keeping them safe someplace. Trusting technology with that job, knowing it offers much more sophistication and speed, and practically never makes a mistake, is the point. A metaphor might be hesitancy trusting software to perform your arithmetic knowing you can't inspect the annotated long division, et cetera.
