Google will now make passkeys the default for personal accounts - eviltoast

Passkey is some sort of specific unique key to a device allowing to use a pin on a device instead of the password. But which won’t work on another device.

Now I don’t know if that key can be stolen or not, or if it’s really more secure or not, as people have really unsecure pins.

    If you read all my comments on this Lemmy post (and not just this single comment thread were it was just me engaging in a flame war with a few idiotd) and you still don’t understand why passkeys are better, then I can’t help you.
