“Passkeys,” the secure authentication mechanism built to replace passwords, are getting more portable and easier for organizations to implement thanks to new initiatives the FIDO Alliance announced on Monday.

If the passkeys aren't managed by your devices fully offline then you're just deeper into being hostage to a corporation.

That's a great way to lose access if your device gets lost, stolen, or destroyed. Which is why I'm against and will continue to be against forcing 2FA and MFA solutions onto people. I don't want this, services don't care if we're locked out which is why they're happy to force this shit onto people.

In case the device gets lost/stolen, you should have a backup of the database that contained the passkeys. That's why I would be only using the implementations that allow doing that easily.
