between passkeys and webp i’m starting to think that software consumers just hate good things

Nobody ever explained to me what a passkey is or how they work. Websites just started asking me for passkeys like it's something we talked about.

the issue is definitely not passkeys themselves but how they've been pushed out of the blue. 1Password gave me a gentle prod by saying "hey, this site supports passkeys, wanna give it a go?". Gamifying it with the Watchtower also helped my ADHD.

Although, it does break on Nintendo w/ Firefox. 1Password suggested using passwords ironically, lol. Firefox is broken in other things (broke on Bluesky, broke on a bank when trying to change passwords) so I just moved to Vivaldi. I guess they didn't want to suggest that to a Firefox user tho.

Nintendo’s implementation of passkeys is kind of just broken, period. I’m sure locking them to the device they’re created on is marginally more secure, but it’s sure not what I wanted to happen when using 1Password to sync them between my desktop and phone.
