Been meaning to expand on this, so here goes. My beef with passkey UX (and surprise, it's not really an issue with the technology itself).
- It's sometimes _really easy_ to make a new account when a product asks you to sign in with a passkey. Wallets have been notorious for this. Maybe counterintuitive, but I think creating an account should have some friction. This is an issue with social sign in too.
- Unclear where they live. If you use a password manager, it's more clear, but otherwise I have no idea where the passkey is being stored. My Apple account? My Google account? Who is managing this stuff.
- Related to ^, it's unclear if they're portable. If I make an account on my phone, can I use it on my laptop? This stuff should be obvious, this is way too important of a feature to be so confusing.
- Random, unprompted requests to store passkeys. Seriously, what the fuck is this. I log into Amazon and 1password asks me to save a passkey, then Chrome asks me to save a passkey, then Apple asks me to save a passkey. I _think_ this is Amazon doing something weird in this case, but it just adds to my animosity towards passkeys.

I don’t care about how good passkeys on a technical level, the rollout has been abysmal. Garbage UX that could be so much better.

I’m pretty convinced that what we should be fighting for is reforming securities laws. Making it easier to pay out dividends would be a Good Thing™

I feel like some people think Nick broke the MN Somali daycare fraud story and that’s not the case
Fraud allegations started in 2018, and here’s a video from Dec 11th
Yes this is a problem that should be addressed, but also don’t let yourself be manipulated
