Passkey technology is elegant, but it’s most definitely not usable security.

From Ars, the same site that was pushing Passkeys really hard (as noted in the linked piece). The readers pushed back against those inane articles, to their credit. I even left a comment, which I hardly ever do anywhere as I just get banned from most places anyway.

Exactly what I predicted would happen did in fact occur because it’s inevitable: Passkeys became another tool for data thieving’ and platform lock-in. It’s wild that anyone (including Ars) thought anything else would or even could occur.

Passkeys are a useless turd.
