Another issue with passkeys
And here's another issue with passkeys. Many of us have had the
experience of having to help a less technically inclined friend or
relative, often remotely, who has had access problems with an account.
This can mean resorting to the undesirable but in some situations
necessary practice of using their login credentials to get into their
account and straighten things out for them. How is one going to do
this with passkeys, that may be on a device thousands of miles away?
Passkeys will inevitably mean more users locked out of their accounts
and at the mercy of the terrible account recovery procedures of firms
such as Google. -L
