Google, GitHub, and a few other services have bagged me to create passkeys. I haven’t tried hard to understand how to use them, but at some point I created one on one device and whenever I try to log in from a different device it doesn’t work but passwords and MFA work just fine across devices so I mostly just ignore it. Annoying that a lot of services are pushing passkeys as the default mechanism though.


Did you use 2FA before? I use it, possibly they deem my security good enough because of that?
