That does not seem like a big burden to the majority of the population? Many people have a single phone. That’s it. Everyone can write down a password without any troubles. This new and improved mechanism requires people to shell out real money for multiple devices just to be safe in case of loss/theft/failure?
Let’s not forget the providers who do not offer the ability to enroll multiple devices. Last I heard, AWS would only let you put a single authenticator on your account.
- insanitybit 3y agoAWS is violating the spec and it's an embarrassment tbh Anyway, to be clear, I'm not advocating for "get rid of passwords forever", I'm saying that for a lot of people passkeys are superior and the whole "how do I recover" is just not that big of a deal. The main issue is the cost of devices like yubikeys. They should lower those. Companies should start providing them. Schools should hand them out. etc.
