    Here’s what I don’t get. When I posted this, you were posting every 10 minutes at most defending passkeys. How do you have so much energy and time to defend them so vehemently? Are you heavily invested in a passkey business? Are you an LLM that’s been instructed to defend LLMs at all costs?

    I’m not sure the latter is possible since you wrote a large paragraph starting with “it’s easy to say passwords are sufficient” when that has absolutely nothing to do with my opinion on passwords. I suspect an LLM would’ve stuck a little closer to my own words.

      No, I’m just a professional software engineer that has been in security and privacy for the last ~9 years (unrelated to passkeys). But I am also head of security for my company and rolled out updated hardware keys in the last year, so am somewhat more familiar with the topic as of recent.

      I also generally enjoy discussing privacy topics. Even more so when I feel the community’s understanding is off /shrug. Was chilling on my phone while the kids were crashed this afternoon.
