Passkeys for logging into websites, I need my phone all the time?

[circatee]

So, I have started to use Passkeys, as that's what one should do now, I guess. 😳
But, that means no matter what I need to have my mobile with me, to point to the QR code, and then click on the passkey to login.

That is right, no?

I feel as if I am missing the really point of the passkey (besides being secure). When I am home, I often leave my phone in the living room or somewhere like that. Then, if I am upstairs on the internet and need to login, I need to go and grab it.

Well, again, I am more curious of the overall benefits, besides security. Seems like even more of an effort, even so, since I use a password manager (1Password).

I use Bitwarden, and it saves the passkey into the app.

It works as a Firefox and Safari extension - no phone needed. It syncs the passkey to any device it's installed on (such as your iPhone of course).

It's not as secure as using the phone in my opinion, but you do need to open Bitwarden using its own password.

Your Passwords App saves them, 1Password saves them as well.

its an easier or maybe better 2 factor authentication?
