Well, at that point I'll figure out what to do. I can't live my life constantly working around bad design that doesn't actually exist yet

This attitude is the reason design keeps getting more and more user hostile over time.

    I cannot possibly game out all future adverse design choices that a vendor may make. Today, October 14th 2026, Passkeys offer more upsides to me than they do downsides, so I use them

    If a particular app vendor or website changes how they accept or use Passkeys, then I won't use them for that app or site. If my computing platform vendor(s) make it harder or worse to use Passkeys then I'll bail out

    There's a lot of what-ifs in every decision, and I cannot possibly nor would I want to, figure out 82 steps ahead in 4-D chess how company X may try to screw me over

      You don't have to do game out all solutions, no one can. We game them out as a group and share our perspectives, as we are here today, and then take more time to reflect on what others have said, eventually returning to iterate with refined understandings, and we will each make our own more informed choices, not always the same.
