Gonna be real difficult to recover from if you lose the device with your passkeys on it or that device is broken.

Couple that with eSIMs and you are looking at a lot of headaches for the non-tech savvy.

Supposedly you can use a security key but they are pushing biometrics, yikes!

Wait until passkeys and all their issues have been solved by the major players.

Don’t lock yourself out of your digital life chasing something flashy and new.

I might switch to it once bitwarden support comes out.

Worst case I lose my Google account. Which I only use for Android (no sync, no mail, no purchases)

Best case, Google no longer defaults to mobile 2fa and finally accepts i want to use totp every time.

Also, how would the biometrics requirement work if all im doing is storing the whole thing in a Bitwarden vault?

… And if your phone has no biometric authentication then fuck you!

Such a bizarre thing to get mad at. What should they do? Ship you a $80 yubikey?

Edit: Oh wait! You think you can’t sign in without biometrics. That’s what happens when you spend too much time on Lemmy that mere mention of Google blows a blood vessel.

@dingleberry keep the option to have a password as fallback in situations like these?

I am a big fan of Passkeys. However, I will refuse to use Passkeys until I can sync them using my own infrastructure. I hope no major site makes them mandatory until then

My biometrics? It’s going to be a pita to change my billing email account but whatever.

AFAIK biometrics are only used to unlock the device’s keychain. So, in other words, it’s no different than using fingerprints to unlock your password manager (via the device’s keychain that has your actual password).
