>They are in my password manager just like another password. So what's the point of having them because effectively, the passwords in the password manager and the passkey in the password manager offer the same UX to me?
same ux, different security properties.
>Except that at least I can memorize a password by heart just in case.
"just in case" should be a thought out recovery flow, rather than hoping that you remember the password of the account you need to access.
- xboxnolifes 14d agoThe password is the recovery flow. What do you propose instead that isnt just a variation of having a password and a passkey?
- john_strinlai 13d agoa memorized password is not part of a well thought out recovery flow. double triple emphasis on "memorized"
- xboxnolifes 13d agoOk, I write my password down. Now what?
- john_strinlai 13d agothe same advice as the last few decades: place it in a fireproof safe alongside your other important documents, like your passport and birth certificate.
