Google is looking to make passwords obsolete by prompting users to create passkeys to unlock accounts and devices with a fingerprint, face scan or pin number.

    I didn’t mean after you logged in… I meant as the default login option to a new Linux box.

    Ah ok. I misunderstood.

    As to the other bit, Google hasn’t disallowed passwords and I don’t think we’re at a point where they would.

    But I mean ideally you have multiple PassKeys so if you lose one or you computer/phone dies you have a backup.

    I keep a hardware key in a safe that can be used as a backup key to my accounts
