A rebuttal to an anti-passkey, pro-TOTP post that has made the rounds on Lemmy as well.

That's my workflow as well 26 random characters, a yubikey (and Aegis TOTP for sites that don't have fido or similar) and I'm good.

    I like the idea of a Yubikey but there is no way it would survive more than a month on me due to the conditions where I work. And getting a physical key then not having it on my body at all times is a non-starter.

    I keep my keepass .kdbx in on a webdav server and that covers any device I can think of.

    Do you work in a blender? It's a pretty solid bit of plastic, should be fine in a pocket or wherever the device you're using it with is.

    Maintenance at a blast furnace. I am exposed to acidic vapours, caustic vapours, ambient heat in the 60c range, radiant heat in the 1000c range, rock from the nanometer up to 30cm size, phenolic resins, oil mists, and metal powders. And then there's the crawling around over, under, and between equipment.

    Not every tech-savvy person works in an office.

    Cool. Hope it's ok on your health. I suppose you have some way to keep your phone safe, and don't need to do 2FA while exposed to all of those things. You could probably wrap one up pretty well and still have the NFC work too.
