it's objectively a downgrade to have to get my phone out just to sign into youtube. i broke my phone screen and couldn't sign into my damn bank until i got it fixed because they making me verify with a text. bullshit world these days
And than there’s Google itself, notorious for blocking people’s accounts for nothing and offering zero recourse to get it back.
Exactly, which is why passkeys are so good.
Exactly. You could have access to your password manager on your computer or a backup hardware security key instead. It doesn't have to all be tied to just one phone, just like you don't have to have just one house or car key.
