Not really a fan of passwordless.<p>I want my login credentials synced to all devices, and to not need an extra piece of hardware.<p>Until Android and Linux can somehow sync, I'd much rather have Passwords that Bitwarden can easily manage and sync.<p>Passwordless will be great eventually but it doesn't seem to be ready for general use yet. We need APIs for apps to be able to provide virtual software implemented authentication the way password managers currently provide autofill.<p>Otherwise, you're stuck with either no sync, or some OS provided sync solution locked to one company.<p>Bad passwords aren't really an issue unless you're manually creating and remembering them.<p>We just need to stop the losing battle of telling people to make their own secure passwords out of words and numbers, and focus on password managers and 2FA.
This is a red flag with regard to privacy. I have a feeling that they will push this sort of login the same way that they pushed 2FA, except the only difference being that for 2FA you can get different phone numbers and not compromise on privacy. In the case of biometrics, this makes it so that anonymity no longer exists<p>But in what way does this do any better than 2FA security wise, aside from convenience? imo 2FA is already overkill. I think the real reason they want this is it makes it easier to push federated login, easier to connect data points to a single identity for advertising.<p>My stance on this is that I refuse to use any sort of biometric login or service. I refuse to use any product that has it as a strict requirement
