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.

    The fact is that I fail to see something obviously wrong with outrageously long/complicated passwords managed by e.g. Bitwarden or the likes.

      Bitwarden is also supporting passkeys, so it won’t make a difference for their users whether they use passwords or passkeys.

      And the fact that you don’t see anything wrong is more a you problem. Boomer mentality, dude. Don’t became one.

        It would probably be better for you to explain what’s wrong and not just call them a boomer as if that explains it.
