I'm not sure why you didn't include the rest of the sentence, which made it clear that I was making a very specific comparison to password + phishable forms of 2FA. I was very clearly not making a blanket statement.
Here's the full context again:
passkeys are significantly more secure than the most widely-used/most popular forms of 2FA, because the most popular forms of 2FA are TOTP and SMS, and both are subject to phishing attacks.
>The D in STRIDE is for denial of service. Passkeys are much worse on this axis than any other solution. You need to evaluate for the specific combination (P,A) how much this matters vs. other criteria.
How are passkeys (really, WebAuthn credentials in general) any worse in terms of denial-of-service attacks than passwords?
I think you're trying to make a point about specific passkey/password managers, rather than the actual credentials themselves. Is that accurate?
