> Using WebAuthn, you're able to use a single authenticator (like a Yubikey, for example) on any site that supports the standard. This way, as a user, you don't need to have passwords

Security people are literally delusional.

Lol indeed, they should spend some time outside. Nobody knows what a yubikey is.

Or what 2FA means, or OTP, or how this type of authentication method is device-bound unless you sync. Or how the same service approached from different devices creates different keys.

So now we'll have classic password logins, social logins, and password-less inconsistently implemented across the internet. Normies will be even more confused now.
