Definitely agree with concerns regarding the UX. While I'm sure many of us here can understand the following paragraph from the article...
> In fact, if you sign in on a device shared with others, you should not create a passkey there. When you create a passkey on a device, anyone with access to that device and the ability to unlock it, can sign in to your Google Account.
... I wonder about the general layperson, especially older generations who (in my experience) tend not to use very secure passwords or MFA. Historically, all they would need to do is use their username and password, and now they are into their account, regardless of which device or location they are at. With passkeys, they have to not only learn a new login paradigm, but also remember that it's different if they are signing in at e.g. the library vs on a desktop at home.
- tonymet 3y agoI believe the tech industry needs a special segment of Accessibility catering to the elderly We are not taking responsibility for the unusable UX we are applying to cars, home appliances, phones, consumer devices, televisions, etc. Mechanical and even electronic devices have an intuitive direct-feedback UI. Flip on an old iron and it heats up. Modern devices are multi-modal, with soft-touch keys and modal LCD displays. Some buttons are long-press (variable input). And don't get me started on cars. Total chaos.
