I know there are plenty of software missing from here. This is just a fun infographic I made, no need to take it seriously :)

I'm still skeptical about passkeys. Tying your auth to a specific physical device feels like a recipe for being locked out (as has happened to many people at work already...requiring me to remove their passkey so they can get back in to their account...)

Passkeys are a shortcut, not the main authentication, and you're supposed to back them up.

This is why you should always have a backup method of logging in. For hardware security keys they always recommend having a second key as backup.
