A survey for all users of the password manager #KeePassXC :
How many #Passkeys do you have already in your vault(s)?
Tagging #nextcloud as well as many users have their vault in their private cloud.
Please retoot.

@kevin @rakekniven even KeepassDX supports it on Android.
Well, the passkey is just another way to access the account. Usually when you have the password, you can anyhow create passkeys. Especially on Android I have the impression that it works smoother than the autofill feature.
So you are less likely to copy paste the password bypassing the domain/app check.
@rakekniven Zero and also important to note that I do not plan on adopting passkeys. Their implementations are of wildly varying quality and widely varying security. They also tie authentication too strongly to devices that can be lost, hacked or coerced to be unlocked, make assumptions about what every kind of user has access to do and obscures authentication mechanisms behind more opaque user experiences (this one, truthfully, will be less important if they're widely adopted, common and familiar to the general public, which makes a further assumption about how well that will go or how long that will take).
I also have a minor, semi-serious hunch that passkeys primarily exist so that organizations can offload responsibility when password breaches happen since they won't store private material, only public keys for accounts - which is valuable in its own right for groups interested in surveillance and invasion of privacy. If implemented poorly (reusing keys or using derivative keys in an insecure way), it also allows for mapping a user's accounts across many services (something that hacking groups might not have the full capability of but are just one sealed warrant away for governments...)
@rakekniven The benefits of passkeys are
- convenience: Not when TOTP is required additionally.
- security: Not when password login cannot be disabled.
- phishing resistence: This is the only benefit remaining.
Disadvantages:
- full security benefit only with hardware token: complex management
I thought about securing my password database with a hardware token and leave my accounts with password/TOTP (where pssible). On Android I would have to change to KeepassDX.
