There's a lot of talk about passkeys recently and how they're not as good as strong, random, unique passwords in terms of UX and security. I agree with the UX part: the industry needs to converge on better and more consistent passkey UX in order for this to become mainstream and useful long-term.

But I don't agree on the security front: the phishing resistance property of passkeys is much better than passwords. @iamkale explains it well in his article: https://blog.millerti.me/2024/10/18/password-managers-arent-replacements-for-passkeys/

Sounds intriguing? Read here:

"GOP women voted for Trump, believing complicity would save them. MAGA men: pushing them out of l'ship, de facto legalizing abuse, & signaling that the era of "chivalry" will be replaced with the era of eating shit."
