What are your thoughts on passkey login? (lemmy.world)

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. 🔑

I'll use passkeys if and only if they work with my password manager (Proton Pass). If not, I'm sticking with the password (and 2fa if they offer it)

Proton Pass already supports passkeys: https://proton.me/support/pass-use-passkeys

I know but not all websites do

The website has to build in support for them. Youll start seeing it more over time.
