Support was first offered in May, but now Google suggests it as the default choice.

Passkey is some sort of specific unique key to a device allowing to use a pin on a device instead of the password. But which won’t work on another device.

Now I don’t know if that key can be stolen or not, or if it’s really more secure or not, as people have really unsecure pins.

    Each to their own but cloud syncing and MFA are a bad mix in my eyes. It has a “who watches the watchmen” problem and it somewhat defeats the point of having a trusted factor when you have an untrusted one on “someone else’s computer”.

    Authy have demonstrated why this is a problem (https://techcrunch.com/2022/08/26/twilio-breach-authy/), plus they’re closed source, so it’s a big no from me.

      Vaultwarden, a FOSS Bitwarden server compatible with upstream clients, is able to store TOTP, and when self hosted, you are the watchmen.
