It is with much hesitation that I write this, because I just implemented such a flow.

My reasoning was this: my customers keep forgetting their password and somehow that becomes a trigger to contact me. No passwords, no problem.

I tried convincing them to use password managers but that was pointless.

But I see the pain and frustration so I will add passwords. And I quite liked the passkey idea, have to see how that works. Not that my customers would ever use it, but I would. It literally never occured to me.

To be clear, no shade on actual devs faced with actual problems. My ire is reserved exclusively for the "we must do this because it is on the checklist, no I don't understand what a subnet is" people.

Good to see my take verified. But, where does the buck stop? What if your phone relies on email, but your email needs your phone.
