Would be a lot easier to see it if you tried to actually explain your position tbh
I did.
Passkeys = open standard, more secure by design, multi-factor.
Passwords = bad track record, easily compromised.
Can't dumb it down much more than that chief.
Password databases can have MFA too. Passkeys by default (on Google's implementation) seem to rely on just the device pin.
That's not really something they have over passwords lol.
I mean passkeys are so new thet don't have a track record. So hard to compare on those merits. What do you mean easily compromised, exactly? Compared to password database model.
You clearly lack imagination. Passkey = more secure password less secure is much more dumbed down.
But I didn't want you to dumb it down, I wanted you to expand on what you said and be more specific and technical. How are you still not getting what people's gripe with your comments is lol
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.
Yeah, but I think thats more your failing than mine
Ok bro
