I don't know anything about passkeys but if Microsoft is pushing for them I am immediately suspicious. I am admittedly paranoid but if you have been an adult using a computer over the past ~15 years and aren't paranoid you haven't been paying enough attention

If by "passkey" they mean an HSM I'm okay with it

I'd still rather have TOTP as my 2nd factor so I don't have to plug shit in

TOTP is the superior option, IMO, but I'm no expert on security so maybe they're insecure? it sure seems like some folks would rather do anything but time-based onetimes.

hardware keys are a pain in the neck, just one more thing to be lost.

I've plugged my phone in so many times and it doesn't detect shit. I'd rather stick with totp/email.
