Because passkey is owned by you (as in - whichever software vault you're using) and not Facebook.
It's no different than stored random 32 character passwords in a password manager... it's pretty much the same really, just that you don't have to copy/paste it in a form.
- KyeRussell 4y agoI think that this question is being posed from the perspective of a civilian.
- izacus 4y agoWhat's a "civilian" in your context?
- Am4TIfIsER0ppos 4y agoProbably: a normie, a layman, the ignorant masses who should never have been given a computer.
- swiftcoder 4y ago> whichever software vault you're using Do consumers perceive a significant difference between "login with Facebook" and "login with LastPass"? In both cases I'm delegating my security credentials to a cloud service I have limitted influence over.
- postalrat 4y agoPasskeys don't require any cloud provider.
- swiftcoder 4y agoIn theory, no, but in practice if I don't have a cloud provider backing up my passkeys, I'm just going to lose them all next time my phone/computer dies (same problem as with local-only 2fac code generators today).

- SheinhardtWigCo 4y agoIt's more like a 1000 character password that can only be extracted or transferred to other devices via methods provided by the developer of the software vault. The purpose is lock-in, not security.
