		jampekka on July 11, 2024 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Second factor SMS: Worse than its reputation 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.
