#itsec fedifriends, I'd like your opinion please: is using #Passkey a good idea, compared to strong generated passwords with #2fa ?
Providers, #bigtech in particular, seem to push hard in that direction. I wonder if it is a good idea.
In my case, I use a #passwordmanager and refuse to use biometrics.
Thanks for your #fedihelp 😁
