If by "passkey" they mean an HSM I'm okay with it

I'd still rather have TOTP as my 2nd factor so I don't have to plug shit in

I've plugged my phone in so many times and it doesn't detect shit. I'd rather stick with totp/email.

TOTP is the superior option, IMO, but I'm no expert on security so maybe they're insecure? it sure seems like some folks would rather do anything but time-based onetimes.

hardware keys are a pain in the neck, just one more thing to be lost.
