I'm convinced: passkeys really are superior to passwords for logging into websites and apps.

I have a 22-character long password that’s a random mix of letters, numbers, and special characters. But entering this password on a brand new device has become a chore. Add a two-factor authentication prompt via an authenticator app or SMS, and the login process can become frustratingly long. This is admittedly only a minor inconvenience in the grand scheme of things, but it’s not elegant at all.

I’m also in the minority — most people don’t use a password manager and reuse the same login information everywhere. Luckily, it turns out that there’s a solution to the friction of maintaining long yet secure passwords: passkeys.
