people have tried to explain passkeys to me but my little noob monkey brain always ended up with "but that just sounds like a password, and we already have those" and it is one of the rare wins where my brain protected me at the cognitive layer where it refused to even allow an idea that i don't need to be thought.

TIL that passkeys have remote attestation built-in. Without a US-American phone running software signed by a US-American company, on which you need to be signed in with your legal identity (thus rendering you unable to use it if you're sanctioned by the US), there is a pretty good chance that you'll be unable to use your passkeys in the future. That seems pretty damn terrible.
Don't use passkeys.

It's so funny to me that on the fedi our biggest "moderation problem" is theoretically helpful unwanted over explaining and problem solving.
If I post "I'm fed up with this printer!" I need to include: (please do not give me advice on printers, I simply wish to vent and commiserate at this time) and even then.... hooo boy.
Worst part? I do it too. The over explaining. I'm trying to get better I promise.
