   #Passkeys promise to prevent #phishing. What are they and how do they work? https://www.eff.org/what-is-a-passkey

     @eff @Axman6 I really like the phishing resistance aspect of the approach, but don’t like the options given for using passkeys. Namely, a dependence on a physical security token or an ecosystem managed by a particular company. It’s not clear to me how browser plugins for 3rd party password managers that can offer paper backup would weaken overall security that much.

     @my_actual_brain You can create as many passkeys as you want on as many devices as you want, assuming the website allows it!

     @eff So, if I use passkeys on iOS to access my account, can I create a second passkey for the same account on Linux? Or can I only use the passkey on one device?
