When I was trying out passkeys, things allowed either passkey or password still. But yes, I think this need partially reduces the security benefit of passkeys.
It's a combination of issues. First is compatibility issues. Like logging in on mobile web or app with a passkey doesn't reliably work for me. It might have been due to the password manager, but for some things the option wasn't even there afaict. If I'm going to really switch to passkeys, I want it to work more reliably.
The second is usability. Passwords in a password manager are a 2 click entry on the username or password form field. Password managers have streamlined this system over the past decade.
Passkeys, ironically, required more steps when pulling from the password manager, including required clicks in less convenient places. I hope these types of issues get ironed out eventually.
I use a password manager with passkey support and still disabled all my passkeys. The user experience for passkeys is so much worse even when support exists.
Your comment strikes me as particularly harmful and misguided because autistic people are often specifically targeted for abuse and even seen as deserving of abuse.
I am sort of grateful, because you've unintentionally really made it starkly clear to me. We should not platform unrepentant enablers of abuse regardless of their prior contributions, it simply causes too much harm.
Honest suggestion: take a civics class to brush up on stuff like this. Theory is great but if you don't understand the system of government under which you live, you have no hope of changing it.
Baggu makes really good nylon bags that fold very small. Only downside is the lack of structure, but you get used to packing them in a couple shopping trips. Ours have lasted over 10 years.
I definitely get where you're coming from. But this is a way forward when big changes are otherwise impossible. Civilian review boards are a concrete suggestion that can be modeled on similar programs elsewhere in law enforcement. They are a relatively minor change and require little infrastructure beyond a conference room, and can have an outsized impact.
I'm not really an expert on this, but a major piece is the idea that fears (and our thoughts about them) aren't based in reality. Often times for ND people, they are indeed based in reality. Changing how we think about these things doesn't help, and can often harm.
It's obviously very personal, YMMV, but there are good alternatives in many cases.
