A comment on We replaced passwords with something worse. Parent comment

I've seen that kind of comments multiple times, and I don't get it.

I use Yubikeys, and passkeys just work. On Chrome, Firefox and Safari, both on macOS and Linux (specifically Alpine). I also tried with iPhones (for my family), and it also just works.

I haven't tried using an Android device, is it what you are trying?

That might be the delta. I'm not using a hardware key (well, not a YubiKey). I'm using just my phone or browser.

Could it be that your phone is not compatible with passkeys? E.g. many Android phones don't have a TPM, isn't that a requirement for passkeys on Android?

As I said, it just works with iPhones and Yubikeys.

Oddly, passkeys work on my phone on the Nintendo site, of all places. I can't seem to get it to work on Github. So it does work, just not everywhere.
