Look, I’m a very technical person and I prefer long, auto-generated passwords stored in a password manager. It’s stupidly simple, works with every service and I can hand-enter my passwords even on the most obnoxious smart TV set.

I get that Passkeys do that in a more convenient way and prevent regular users from reusing simple passwords. So far, so good.

But I also use several devices over several different ecosystems and like the syncing my password manager gives me. I even sync my TOTP 2FA codes. I also like being able to make backups of such important data.

I don’t want to loose access to a service because I lost my phone. I don’t want to go to the settings of #M services and add my #N devices. That is a LOT of work for very little benefit! And I need to go through that hassle again every time I get a new phone or tablet or laptop or desktop or smartwatch (?) or authenticator device.

Yes, some password managers like bitwarden also do passkeys and sync them. But I would still have to figure out which services use it. And then I am locked into my current password manager.

Remember to unclick your buttons if you’re not paying for premium clicks. You wouldn’t want to continously keep reordering toilet paper from Amazon, would you?

Nah, I already got the 24,99 family plan that includes 500 premium clicks every month. I just hope they don’t follow through with their crackdown on account sharing.

Ein wichtiger Schritt. Die Sortierung der Ergebnisse hat einen ungemeinen Einfluss auf unser aller tägliches Leben. Da sollten wir uns langfristig von externen Akteuren unabhängig machen, ähnlich wie in der Energiepolitik.
