> Some sites, once connected via passkey, make it all but impossible to connect in another way.

That's not a usability nightmare.

That's plainly a nightmare.

Also, the very thing that passkey evangelists were foaming at the mouth 1-2 years ago here assuring me Would Absolutely Never Happen and Is Not A Concern, because the spec says passwords should still work.

To the surprise of exactly no one with half a brain, things didn't play out that way.

> though we're back to a "biometrics as password" problem in many device flows

Meaning if you're detained with the device, you can be legally required (and physically forced) to unlock not just the device, but all your online accounts.

Nothing suspicious here, not like authoritarianism is on the rise or anything, and whoever lives in those countries can get fucked in any case.

>So far, it's about 30% of sites screwing it up...

A year or two ago I was told it'll be 0%.

In 1-2 years, it'll be 90%.

I'm tired.
