I&#x27;m really not knowledgeable about these new passkey systems.<p>If I switch to this sort of system, does that mean that I won&#x27;t be able to check email using the library computers any more? I am required to use the same hardware each time, and that hardware must have its own internet access, correct?<p>Or is there a USB-based solution I can plug into the library computer to authorize my login? But I won&#x27;t be able to download anything on the library computer....<p>My contingency planning for &quot;house catches on fire and I have to leave in my underwear&quot; or &quot;on holiday and someone steals my stuff&quot; currently depends on being able to log in to my account via someone else&#x27;s device to send email or to chat.<p>In a future passkey system, if someone grabs your phone when you are visiting Amsterdam, throws it into a canal, and runs away, what do you do to recover? How do you log in to your email to get a copy of the ticket to print out using a hotel computer?<p>Because I can totally see griefers doing that. Your (used) phone might have a material cost of $400, while the economic impact it has on you is far higher.
