Big Tech has implemented passkeys in a way that locks users into their platforms rather than providing universal security
Passkeys were developed to replace passwords for better account security, but their rollout by Apple and Google has limited their potential
Proton Pass offers passkeys that are universal, easy to use, and available to everyone for improved online security and privacy.

Yeah or if they only offer 2FA via SMS. Like 1) it's not even that much more secure and 2) it's just more awkward.

But I also hate how Steam and Blizzard only allow you to verify logins in their mobile app. Fucking ridiculous.

It is stupid that they not only require the app to be present, but to verify each and every trade. Even those for items that drop to everyone for free. Good thing it does work in an Android VM but still - very annoying.
