GitHub announced today the introduction of passwordless authentication support in public beta, allowing users who opt-in to upgrade from security keys to passkeys.
As someone who works with people too stupid to log in to github without having to reset their password every time and having to take a full hour to figure out how to use their recovery method, that’s going to be a pain in the butt. I can foresee lots of "hey, quick question"s if they really do phase out simpler login methods. It’s good to have options for sure, but the standard login method should stay imo
