A lot of services support passkeys. Microsoft even has an option to make my account "passwordless". Since they are more secure than passwords, will you be switching some / most of your accounts to passkeys any time soon? Interested to hear everyone's thoughts on passkeys. ๐Ÿ”‘

Passwords can be leaked, mostly by bad security on server side.

Wouldn't this be solved by storing only hashed passwords?

Let's assume that hashing passwords falls into the "good security" bucket, and wouldn't be part of the "bad security" scenario.

Figured as much. I thought that was just "standard", but even "standard" can be a lot to expect lol
