    Passkeys are the next step to total dependency on tech companies.

    I'm putting off passkeys for now. I still prefer my password formula that
    allows me to generate, remember, and use 12 digit unique passwords. And
    Google remembers and inserts most automatically (except sensitive sites)
    anyway.

    I wait for the moment users have to pay to access to their own data.

    I pay 2 bucks a month to Google Drive. But having data access by all my
    devices (even this Amazon Fire OS tablet I'm posting with) is worth it to
    me. YMMV of course...

    Not the data itself. The access to them.
