- The FAQs on the page says there are "secure and reliable recovery options" when the device with the passkey is lost. I wish there was more explanation for that because trying to help people recover Microsoft accounts when they don't have the password is mostly when I have used the SMS codes.

- This is so annoying. I tried to see what passkey is, and tried to sign in, and MSFT always tried to ask me to use authenticator, and when I clicked other ways to sign in, somehow it went to "Reset password", and I clicked cancel, and now I can't sign in any more.
The whole fucking security thing has nothing fucking to do with my security, but with their apps and control. I had enough with this. gonna delete everything MSFT from my world. Fuck them.

- Recent updates to Microsoft account sign-in now support passkeys with device biometric authentication, making phishing virtually impossible.
So according to Microsoft biometric authentication will make people immune to being tricked. Pretty ironic stance.

- > Microsoft believes that the future of authentication is passwordless, secure, and user-friendly.
...but passkeys are not user-friendly, unless you are a user who is happy to do whatever the bigco tells you to do, and you never stray from the happy path.
