> Once you’re in Apple universe

And there's your blocker. Being limited to only devices from a single vendor is horrible, and a firm no from a lot of people.

> Now we can put on the tinfoil hat and say how this fosters vendor lock

The fact that you call it a tinfoil hat type issue is just insane to me. Literally every person in my household has some apple devices and some other ones (android, windows, etc). And some of them have switched back and forth.

Plus, the "ergonomics" of logging into a website on a random device to check something are awful.

Maybe for a lot of tech people, I don't think the general public understands the risks enough to care.

I literally presented you with the solution in the sentence before. Buy a usb c dongle key. You pay 20 euros to NEVER have to remember a single password ever again. Seems like an ok trade off to me. Likewise you can register multiple passkeys for multiple devices, so long as you do it in sequence (first Apple, then Android) etc. Really it takes very little getting used to. Ever tried to fill out a crap password form which wants 7 special characters but no dashes but uppercase but not uppercase Y and so forth.

How does that USB-C dongle work on my corporate computer that has USB blocked? How does it work with my iPhone or my iPad or my Kindle?

And how is it better than a password + password manager? Literally everything about what is described is worse than a password + manager.
