KeePassXC just today released support for storing passkeys in your own keepass database file. And they're not just "glorified passwords". They're private keys that use challenge-response authentication so they're never actually sent over the network. Harder to compromise.
Using passkeys with some kind of personal database is ultimately an objective improvement over hodge podge username and password mechanisms, so they're only going to continue being adopted further.
The only case they don't really work for is when you want to log in to a computer that doesn't have access to your passkeys.
KeePass(XC) is open-source.
You don't actually use your brain lmao. How many online accounts do you have?
My password database has over 300 credentials. I think most people have more credentials for things (online accounts, also physical locks, device passwords, etc.) than they can remember.
I’m sure tens of millions of people said that before being breached and having their password “John1974Smith” leaked. Maybe don’t say anything if you don’t understand basic security protocols and technology.
The average person is not a special boy like you. You’re literally in a post showcasing what the average person is like with their information. Security is meant to protect against those people.
KeePassXC is self-hosted on your local machine. There's no third party to compromise because it's just you who has access, offline.
You are being reactionary.
