Please, please, please stop using passkeys for encrypting user data

Passkeys are the future of authentication, but using them for data encryption is a disaster waiting to happen. Overloading these credentials creates a dangerous blast radius that can lead to the irreversible loss of a user's most sacred memories and documents.

Just figured out how to setup #kratos by #ory. It's a self hostable user manager. With login, logout, 2fA etc. It's a good way to keep up with auth without having to code a less secure version of it. There is versions of this in the cloud like cognito but if you host your user manager, you own your user data.
