> Let’s not make an inferior solution mandatory when we already have a superior solution.

With a slight caveat that it doesn't work. At least not on Linux without some proprietary junk dongles or their emulators.



Huh, can you be more specific? I thought I was using this on Linux with bitwarden. Is a yubikey “junk?”


Software/OS passkeys weren't supported, at least not well enough for Github, on Linux when I last tried. Per web search they still don't.

Stuff that I could do without, like a yubikey, is junk in my books.


Bitwarden supports, may be beta. Passkeys are usually controlled by corporate controlled devices—why I haven’t used them yet. See:

Keeping the storage separate (or not) from the device may not be important to you but keys are useful to some, for that reason.
