I'm also completely against passkeys. A safe password and a good password manager are way better, they don't lock you into any platform.

It's super sad to see all kinds of websites offering you to add a passkey when you log in.

An open, cross-platform passkey implementation does all that too, and on top of that prevents you from accidental password leaks via logs, MITM etc. by default.

As long as they're not forcing you to add one, what exactly is your problem with having more choice?

Personally, I am grateful for every site that doesn't require my phone number to sign up and uses passkeys for authentication instead, yet I also don't want SMS authentication banned for everybody since I understand it currently works better than Passkeys for many people.

passkeys are a great idea, but poorly implemented

I was planning to make use of passkeys when logging on to various services, so I ordered three physical devices, supporting passkeys (yubikey). I ordered USB C and USB A variants, with NFC support.

Is this a mistake? I am already using password manager and totp for my accounts, but I am tired of dealing with passwords.

Even when using a password manager (bitwarden in my case), it just get tedious bringing out my phone, starting auth app, locating the correct account, reading 6 digit token and logging on.
