I am using my password manager, which is keepass.

I have tried adding pass keys to it, and have had mixed success. On some websites, it seems to work fine, and then on others, it seems to break miserably, and made me return back to a password.

I like the idea of passkeys, because then you don't have a shared secret between you and the website, and you get a different key for every single website using public-private key cryptography. That's fantastic, but the implementation still needs some work.

They're going to have to pry my keepass out of my cold, dead hands.
