A 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.

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

I get the security behind email-only sign in, but waiting on mail servers is so slow!

Passkeys are honestly the most frictionless system. No more waiting for 2FA codes and having to type them in. No more getting locked out of your accounts if you lose your phone.

With Bitwarden the 2FA codes are copied automatically to the clipboard, being thus just a "ctrl+v" away.

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...

It feels like the first step in a vendor lock-in strategy. Basically boils down to that. That's essentially my issue anyway.

I love being able to use my Yubikey instead of a password. And I don't feel I'm locked in then...
