Google will now make passkeys the default for personal accounts

Passkey is some sort of specific unique key to a device allowing to use a pin on a device instead of the password. But which won't work on another device.

Now I don't know if that key can be stolen or not, or if it's really more secure or not, as people have really unsecure pins.

People are down voting because they have issues and I don't have the patience to entertain them.

Fuck it, keep using passwords, don't get vaccines and don't drink fluoridated water.

I don't give a shit.

Seems like you do give a few shits but not enough to clarify your reasoning I guess.

Ive read all your comments, and it just sounds like you have no idea why its better. Its like someone told you its better and gave you a few buzzwords, and youre just parroting it.

I dunno man, if you cant explain the difference between the two maybe you shouldnt be insulting boomers, since you sound just like one

If you read all my comments on this Lemmy post (and not just this single comment thread were it was just me engaging in a flame war with a few idiotd) and you still don't understand why passkeys are better, then I can't help you.
