Google Confirms Most Gmail Users Must Upgrade Accounts

Quote: Put more simply, because passkeys link to your hardware — primarily your phone, this secure device becomes a digital key for all critical accounts.

Wait. My phone is secure??

Is anyone else avoiding passkeys like the plague and tired of sites' prompting a change from 2FA to passkeys with no option to silence the prompting for future logins? <glares at Amazon>

I hate the word "upgrade" here, since passkeys are a major downgrade to users' freedom. A password manager and TOTP give you all of the security benefits of passkeys without the downsides.

I like the time based passcode thing... why is there a need for anything else, really?
