Am I the only one confused by #passkeys? They feel clunky, it's not at all clear what is going on, and honestly doesn't feel any different than a password manager (but somehow worse)
I really don't even understand what is going on under the hood. Are there any good explainers out there? #ux#passkey
@scottjenson The main problem for me is that browser vendors have intentionally made passkeys difficult to use without hardware keys. There are clunky ways to emulate Bluetooth hardware keys purely in software but that just adds to the confusion.
I would've preferred tight integration with something we know, like GPG/PGP, though that stack has its own set of issues (mainly that there are not good secondary implementations, but they might be resolved.)
