   @scott The one thing that resonates with me is that it's much more cumbersome to share a passkey with another person than to share a password. And since a password manager and TOTP are very much Good Enough for most scenarios, there just isn't enough motivation in it for me to use them.

     Today I learned a lot about #passkeys, part of which is that there is a lot of misinformation about passkeys going around.

     Mostly I learned that passkeys are VULNERABLE to misrepresentation because so few people actually understand how they work. 😂

     But the video I just boosted was really helpful, as were the voluminous replies in various threads in my feeds today.

     I am feeling confident enough in my understanding now to try creating my first one 😬 in a password manager, of course.

     Thanks, fedi, for teaching me!
