alt Hacker NewsA couple years ago there were several posts here about not using PassKeys, and I went along with that for a bit. But I’ve fallen in love with them. They’re so nice to use with 1Password.
I suppose I might want to stop using 1Password someday, but it still has all my passwords as well so I can just fallback to those. And, honestly, only a fraction of the sites I have in 1Password have PassKeys available.
What I hate much more is sites that don’t have passwords and require you to log in via email every time. It drives me NUTS.

I get the security behind email-only sign in, but waiting on mail servers is so slow!
Passkeys are fantastic! I encourage my family and friends to utilize them as an alternative to passwords whenever possible.
Compared to everything else, they are so much of a nicer experience. I despise the "click the link we just emailed you" so much. And MFA is a pain, and still has security issues: https://blog.talosintelligence.com/state-of-the-art-phishing...
I really don't get all the hate for Passkeys on HN...

This is crazy and should be outlawed. Honestly, it's so annoying...
