A lot of services support passkeys. Microsoft even has an option to make my account “passwordless”. Since they are more secure than passwords, will you be switching some / most of your accounts to passkeys any time soon? Interested to hear everyone’s thoughts on passkeys. 🔑

      Really? Bunch of open source tools like Bitwarden and Firefox support passkey. Are you saying they all use and pay for licensed code?

      Passkeys are basically FIDO2.

      FIDO2 wasn’t really adopted, so now they are marketing it under a new name (while also allowing more liberal ways of storing the keys, no “normal” user would keep a FIDO2 stick with them all the time). So, you can still use your FIDO2 stick (as long as it is not too old I guess) or a password manager like KeePassXC. No need to switch to the Apple/Google/Microsoft stuff.
