Yes, but this issue is not one we should want Google solving. We need better media literacy education throughout life.

Twilight works pretty well

When I was trying out passkeys, things allowed either passkey or password still. But yes, I think this need partially reduces the security benefit of passkeys.

Just answered in a different comment.

It's a combination of issues. First is compatibility issues. Like logging in on mobile web or app with a passkey doesn't reliably work for me. It might have been due to the password manager, but for some things the option wasn't even there afaict. If I'm going to really switch to passkeys, I want it to work more reliably.

The second is usability. Passwords in a password manager are a 2 click entry on the username or password form field. Password managers have streamlined this system over the past decade.

Passkeys, ironically, required more steps when pulling from the password manager, including required clicks in less convenient places. I hope these types of issues get ironed out eventually.

I use a password manager with passkey support and still disabled all my passkeys. The user experience for passkeys is so much worse even when support exists.

Your comment strikes me as particularly harmful and misguided because autistic people are often specifically targeted for abuse and even seen as deserving of abuse.

I am sort of grateful, because you've unintentionally really made it starkly clear to me. We should not platform unrepentant enablers of abuse regardless of their prior contributions, it simply causes too much harm.

Pea mushers

The effect (purpose?) of moral panics is to maintain the status quo, scapegoating age old problems as new because there's a new aspect.

Anyone focusing on social media or phones as the main problem kids and teens are facing today is part of the problem, whether or not it's intentional.

I definitely get where you're coming from. But this is a way forward when big changes are otherwise impossible. Civilian review boards are a concrete suggestion that can be modeled on similar programs elsewhere in law enforcement. They are a relatively minor change and require little infrastructure beyond a conference room, and can have an outsized impact.

I see, thanks.
