Passkeys are built on the FIDO2 standard (CTAP2 + WebAuthn standards). They remove the shared secret, stop phishing at the source, and make credential-stuffing useless.

But adoption is still low, and interoperability between Apple, Google, and Microsoft isn’t seamless.

I broke down how passkeys work, their strengths, and what’s still missing

I like passkeys but ONLY as the second factor. Using them as the primary makes no sense in majority of cases.

I store the passkeys in my self hosted vaultwarden, they are a good replacement for auto inserting random passwords via text boxes.
