The problem with passkeys is that you need your phone to use them. The more it is adopted, the more likely technology will only work with them in the future. Thus, we will be more tied to our mobile devices. No thanks.

- stetrain 4y agoWhy does it need a phone? It's like SSH keys, you just need access to your keys from where you are logging in. They give the example of using your phone because that's a convenient portable key vault you may have with you. But if you want to keep your keys just on a desktop or in some other password manager that integrates with the browser I don't see any barrier to that. 1Password for example has already announced passkey support.
- vouaobrasil 4y agoHmm, I didn't know that. Thanks! When I watched Apple's video on passkeys, it seemed to imply a phone was needed.
- encryptluks2 4y agoI don't believe you do. You just need an app that supports passkeys, but I could be wrong. The notice says that it integrates with other password managers.
