The context is literally the line quoted from the article, which made it reasonably clear what the word was supposed to mean, and you decided that (1) you understood what they meant, and (2) deliberately tried to bring up an alternative meaning and object to it, and (3) continue arguing why (2) was justified by taking the sentence out of its context (and into your hypothetical context).

This line from quoted from the article?

> security against man-in-the-middle attacks but face the higher probability scenario of losing access to your accounts

The author says "security" against man-in-the-middle attacks. Are they not using the typical cybersecurity-context meaning of "secure" that I just mentioned? (Resistance against exploits, attacks, social engineering, etc.) And note that they say "higher probability scenario of losing access to your accounts" rather than something like "lower security against account loss" which would have been admittedly understandable, but a bit less clear since the more common cybersecurity meaning of "security" was just used.

> deliberately tried to bring up an alternative meaning

I am using the typical understanding of what "secure" means both 1) in the context of the quote from the article you used and 2) generally in the context of authentication methods. Let's not act like I dug up some obscure and irrelevant alternative definition.

> and into your hypothetical context

Is it really so unrealistic and hypothetical to think about how non-technical people (i.e., the vast majority of people) will interpret the at best questionable statement that "passkeys are insecure"? I stand by my claim that most people will get the wrong idea when they hear that.
