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. But for all that upside, it’s not always clear how we, the normal human users, are supposed to use passkeys. You’re telling me it’s just a thing… that lives on my phone? What if I lose my phone? What if you steal my phone?

      I know my way is quite unconventional, but I don’t rely on any clouds whatsoever. If I lose my data, it’s my damn fault.

        That’s the problem though, I know I would lose my data and my Bitwarden account is my literal key to my entire digital life.
