Yeah, people who don’t have a phone or any kind of stable devices by definition can’t use passkeys, and must rely on per-account knowledge factors like passwords. I think this is pretty obvious.

“Eliminating passwords”, whenever I say it, is shorthand for “eliminating passwords as the _default_ credential for websites and apps”. mastodon.laurenweinstein.org/@

BTW, when the Big Tech bros wax poetic about eliminating passwords by requiring passkeys, you can bet they probably don't deal with anyone who doesn't have a phone and whose only access to the Internet is public computers like in libraries. And please don't suggest that someone who may have all their possessions in a shopping cart carry and use a Yubikey (even if USB ports weren't blocked on public computers, as they often are). The Bros often don't have a clue about the real world.
