I don't like passkeys | Ethan Hawksley

For users who previously reused passwords across all their sites, passkeys are a huge step-up.
That is exactly why passkeys are a good thing. Basically everyone reused passwords everywhere.

A password manager is better than passkeys in 2026

It’s a false dichotomy to have one or the other. I use passkeys as a quicker and more convenient way to log in to some sites, but I still have passwords in my password manager as a fallback.

Some websites prevent you from using a password if you set up a passkey.
Pass keys are horrible.

It seems like what’s actually horrible would be those websites’ implementation. But yeah, I’m definitely sticking with a manager.
