[QUOTE="Wrecker4923, post: 1089905, member: 110877"] Or you can turn this around on its head and basically say, I'll use password+2FA everywhere else except for this main machine that I can use passkeys to conveniently and safely access the accounts. Passkey's private keys stored in password managers can be breached (for example, you get a malware), but the private keys stored in Windows credentials protected by TPM may not (time will tell). It's the classic tradeoff between security vs. accessibility. [/QUOTE]
