@protonprivacy
This is this far the best explanation of passkeys I've seen.

What if it's a site that you want to visit on a device that you don't want/can't have Proton Pass/other passkey app on? eg. a work computer or a public library computer?

I have a feeling that I'm going to be seeing a lot of the latter at work as adoption becomes greater than understanding. Yahoo demanding 2fa from the app when the senior didn't bring their phone is fuuuuuun. The hardest part usually is them remembering their passwords.

Can username/password still be used? Or is there another way?

@protonprivacy Does Passkey work on Android 11?

@vibudanimsara Passkeys are only supported on Android 14+, as previous Android OS versions don't support passkeys.
