> There’s no doubt about it: The password era is ending.

No it's not. How am I suppose to login to a console of a air-gapped server with passkeys?

> Signing in with a passkey is three times faster than using a traditional password and eight times faster than a password and traditional multifactor authentication.

When you sign in to anything Microsoft, you have to go through four different redirects, sure automatically but not not exactly single page sign-in.

> We don’t let users permanently opt out of passkey invitations, but we keep the messaging friendly.

by friendly you mean Dark-UI to push the user in the corner forcing them to accept as you limit their options one by one with threatening notification and nagging.

> We’re proud to be part of this collective effort and hope you will share learnings as well as you progress in your passkey journey.

Learnings is a grammatical error. Microsoft is proud to be a collective for part of vendor locked in.

The rest of all spunk.

Passkeys don't require the internet to work


I have a crash trolley at my DC where I colocate. It has only a keyboard, mouse and monitor.

USB has been disabled for security as I don't own my quater-rack (yet) in which I share with other DC customers.

The system is in a critical state where by a reboot would be disastrous.

I don't think passkeys would replace server logins so wouldn't be applicable there.
