I don’t like Passkey because it’s an overly complicated system, and because it places too much power in entities that I do not trust and I do not want to depend on.
I can’t use Passkey because it lacks support for some of the systems that I use.
It’s fine that it exists, but sadly, some online services have made it mandatory, thereby locking me out of my accounts.
ofc, but I’m asking what services are those to avoid them, because I’ve never seen a mandatory passkey enrollment, or even being mandatory to use it after it’s enrolled. And I must have over a dozen websites with passkeys.
Even my previous job which was a bit tighter on IT sec encouraged, but didn’t require it.
I think the main probem for now is bad third party implementation… several password managers work with passkeys, too, but they all have problems with interoperability, sometimes even with backing them up inside the program.
Why are you hating on passkeys? They are awesome! So much more convenient than passwords.

Making it mandatory is incredibly stupid.
This is confusing me. Where are passkeys mandatory? Everywhere I have it configured they’re an additional way to sign in, never the only one.
That just means none of the services you use have made it mandatory. Consider yourself lucky.

This is my answer—passkeys suck. Maybe in another decade they’ll be usable.
