A lot of services support passkeys. Microsoft even has an option to make my account “passwordless”. Since they are more secure than passwords, will you be switching some / most of your accounts to passkeys any time soon? Interested to hear everyone’s thoughts on passkeys. 🔑

    Just in addition to my other reply… that was assuming it’s not a government agency.

    The police can just force you to do it, but they can’t force a password.

    Everyone using a passkey and biometrics on their hardware is law enforcements wet dream.

    Edit: Including border security where you have less rights.

      This exactly why I have a phone that lets me use two factors to unlock it, pin plus fingerprint!

        It let’s you require both?

        It looks like it’s pin and optional fingerprint, not pin and fingerprint for me? On Android

        This is why I always turn it off in airports though.
