You can never make this mistake with a passkey or FIDO authenticator.

- ianburrell 2y agoThere is no passkey password. If there are, it is entered into the dialog box not a site. And wouldn't do any good cause the passkey is saved on the device and does a key exchange. If you mean the password manager password, then it is entered in a different place and really hard to confuse it with a website. Also, 1Password requires extra info to login account and that is only used, usually copying from another device, when setting up device.
- vel0city 2y agoThe PIN for the hardware passkey device in my locked drawer at home is 1234567. Oh no, you have its PIN! Can you now log in to $service as me? Not without that hardware module. My password for $service is hunter42. Now you can log in as me. See the difference?
- rightbyte 2y agoI am trying to come up with a counter argument but gave up. Since you are correct. Is it fine if a waive my hands around and say "complexity"?
