Github a couple months ago:
"Use a passkey to sign in! No more password to remember!"
Okay sure. I don't even know my password anyways because of my password manager, but whatever.
Since then, every time I log in, some weird extra step has been required not involving "fill in password from password manager"
Just now I had to take a photo of a QR code on my phone so my phone would go to the URL so the response could be sent to my password manager so my browser could load the passkey from the password manager.
The people trying to kill the Internet have names, addresses, and apparently OKRs with metrics to game.
