Or you can use the pin-code

@AtaKe if that’s also a possibility then cool

Such a bizarre thing to get mad at. What should they do? Ship you a $80 yubikey?

Edit: Oh wait! You think you can’t sign in without biometrics. That’s what happens when you spend too much time on Lemmy that mere mention of Google blows a blood vessel.

@dingleberry keep the option to have a password as fallback in situations like these?
