From a user POV Passkeys are the same. You can only use them if you have the DB they are stored in. You protect against loss by syncing that DB all over the place. If you lose all the copies somehow you have to do a reset/recovery everywhere.

With a password manager, your passwords are long and random. You can’t memorize them, so if you lose your password DB you have to do a PW reset everywhere. You protect against that by keeping the DB synced all over the place.

A lot of the comments are from people who don’t trust Passkeys because they don’t understand the failure modes. They’re essentially identical to the failure modes of password managers.

Someone gave us a hand-me-down pong console. It probably wasn’t this one but something similar

Same here. I remember waiting 20 minutes for Bruce Lee to load on that thing.

It’s true, it’s so hard to contextualize. Like, this was at a time when “going online” was phoning into a local BBS at 300bps and hoping the line wasn’t already busy.

Habitat was utterly mind blowing to me as a kid. The idea of a LucasArts game that you could play “online” with other people was an absolute dream come true. Sadly there was no way my family could afford the per-minute fees.
