Why is every second service now emailing one-time login codes instead of passwords or (god forbid!) implement a freaking #passkey like normal humans do?

I'm going to put this out there to all the #infosec people who want to disagree: I still prefer a password plus USB-connected #2FA token to the #passkey system, and I wish websites would stop trying to push me to what is effectively a single point of failure.

Just had a really poor support experience with #Apple

Logging into my #AppleID is possible using a #Passkey - great!

Except: I want to remove the passkey but I can't. Passwords app is showing Passkeys: 0. Now this is fun.

The behavior is reproducible with a fresh test user: login via passkey: yay

Show passkey in passwords app: nay

So no I am stuck with a passkey which is out of my control but which can be used to log into my AppleID.

In my book that is a serious concern, but Apple doesn't seem to care. They called back and told me they don't have any additional info. Then I nerver heard back. I also filed this via Feedback and never heard back.

Called them again today and they were not helpful. So what now? Migrating an Apple ID is possible but if you then delete the old Apple ID your tranferred purchases are no longer transferred.

All this feels really bad. This mess drove me to begin using #Linux Mint in my daily work and I am really liking it.
