  • Having seen the amount of people still keeping their passwords on sticky notes/on random scraps of paper/in the notepad.app on their phone/pc when there’s literally a built-in biometrically secure app on the same device – yeah, passkeys are safer for the *average person* for this alone. It forces you to use what you could already be using to store passwords in the first place. It also cuts down on tech-supporting the users that bork their profiles/lost their passwords/devices as we can verify manually and send an updated passkey out. From there. they can just save however they wish.

    Not only do I have to support these kinds of users, I also have to log into no less than 3 machines with several realms of security at any given moment. Passkeys has turned the 10 minute first login of the day ritual into a 1 minute speedrun of me clicking “Use this Passkey” or scanning the QR code/tapping notification on my phone.

    Bonus: My passwords don’t expire now because they didn’t get used in the first place.



  • @agitatedpotato yeah, no doubt those are factors indeed, especially the mental health one.
    Wife made a succinct point at how much more stressful life in the States is in general with regard to the “keep up or die” lifestyle we have here and I feel it’s a major contributor.

    Miss one paycheck or slip on a bar of soap in the shower and wind up with a $20000 hospital bill and cause several years of worry and paranoia (as an example). Other places in the world don’t have to deal with that, hence they also don’t have the mental illness rates we do
    (Again simple example for a complex variable just for illustration purposes; don’t flame pls 😉)
