A collection of some classic Lemmy memes for your enjoyment
There's been a lot of pain in the attempt to portray it as "Just click the passkey button, and that's it! Your login is secured for life!"
No - Buddy. It is secured for this one specific device that I have biometric authentication for. What about my computer? What about my other computer that isn't on the same operating system? I have a password manager that stores these things, why didn't you save to that when I registered? Why is it trying to take this shit from my Apple Keychain when it's in Bitwarden?
And, the next ultra-big step: How would a non-techie figure this shit out?
For some people it is that easy.
When it is saved to a cross-platform password manager, it is secured on all devices that password manager runs on including your computer on other operating systems. You can also choose other in the OS prompt & redirect to a device with your passkey or use a hardware security key (I don't). If your preferred password manager isn't the primary one on all your devices, then fix that or use the other option mentioned before.
The same way they figure out passwords & multifactor. Their pain isn't ours for those who've figured this out & have a smooth experience.
