They aren't that much more secure than a random 256 bit unique password for every site stored in a secure password manager. They are designed to raise the security for the average user, not the most security conscious.

- tekknik 2y agoThis is a weird take. The passkey can be up to 1400 bits in length which makes it significantly more difficult to brute force than a 256 bit password. Not to mention some sites won’t even let you type in a password that long, and then ofc rainbow tables. Passkeys are significantly more secure for everybody.
- UltraSane 2y agoa truly random 256 bit password would require more energy to brute force than the sun will emit during its entire lifetime. a 1400 bit long random password is not any more secure in practice. Passkeys are normally 256 bit ECC keys.
- tekknik 2y agoYou’re totally right, more bits doesn’t mean more security. /s I seriously hope you don’t work in any security field.
