       @w3c So this is one-factor login, and the factor is biometrics. Bad. For a variety of reasons, biometrics should never be used as passwords by anyone who cares about security. They may safely be used as userids.

       @w3c finally we solved the problem of “nobody makes a unique password” with a solution that is 10x as complicated

       @w3c #passkeys Some things you really need to know about passkeys.1. They are not cheap2. They are physical devices, like a door key, usually USB flash drives sometimes with near-field capability to use with your smartphone3. You can't "eat just one". You need two: one to use and one to lose. You can register multiple passkeys, but you should never register fewer than two for any given site you want to access again.
