Google says it wants to completely eliminate the use of passwords in the future, and firms like WhatsApp, Uber, and Ebay have embraced the technology.

Gonna be real difficult to recover from if you lose the device with your passkeys on it or that device is broken.

Couple that with eSIMs and you are looking at a lot of headaches for the non-tech savvy.

Supposedly you can use a security key but they are pushing biometrics, yikes!

Wait until passkeys and all their issues have been solved by the major players.

Don’t lock yourself out of your digital life chasing something flashy and new.

I might switch to it once bitwarden support comes out.

Worst case I lose my Google account. Which I only use for Android (no sync, no mail, no purchases)

Best case, Google no longer defaults to mobile 2fa and finally accepts i want to use totp every time.

Also, how would the biometrics requirement work if all im doing is storing the whole thing in a Bitwarden vault?
