Microsoft says that passkeys reduce password use by 20% and wants to remove >> password use altogether.
On one hand, I do like password-less login systems when it's handled all locally (ie having a ~/.ssh/id_rsa file), but I hate them trying
to force MS accounts and add biometric data to it.
I created a passkey using Bitwarden. I didn't get forced to use
microsoft anything.
