On this episode of The Vergecast, we figure out passkeys once and for all.

Passkeys: how do they work? No, like, seriously. It’s clear that the industry is increasingly betting on passkeys as a replacement for passwords, a way to use the internet that is both more secure and more user-friendly.

    My vote is password manager. You can use 1 really good password for it and as many stupidly good passwords anywhere else since youre likely auto filling or pasting it in.

    Just if your using it locally, remember to take a backup.
