Seems that way. Better luck next year, passkey standards(?) people. Hope it’ll be ironed out at some point.
I think the repeated posts and articles constantly rehashing this topic is telling. Every thread is nearly the same in terms of some people saying “here are the reasons why passkeys don’t work for me” and other people saying “you’re holding it wrong”. I don’t think many people come away with their views changed.
It breaks the traditional login paradigm. I had a hard time trying to setup a single device as my passkey manager. Now I realize that you should make one on all your devices. My bank website, I have my password and two separate passkeys. Individual sites may have an implementation issue, but in that case I use the more troublesome password workflow. I still come across password implementation issues on some sites.
Interesting. I still want to be able to login if all my devices are stolen/destroyed. Guessing people will be in pickles after natural disasters.
Good tip!
