I guess you're better off buying a physical security key, which offers some guarantee that the keys cannot be exflitrated from the device.
I have one, but I use it as a second factor because it does not have a way of identifying me
Strange, my Yubikey allows me to authenticate using Passkeys just fine by entering the PIN that protects my stored credentials.
I love my Yubikey but the older hardware versions can only store 25 passkeys, and I believe even the newer ones can only store 100. That seems like a lot until more sites start allowing passkey auth.
Sure, but I don't think it's a huge problem since it's honestly pretty hard to find more than 5 services that support discoverable passkeys.
Yubikey supports pin protection, the newest one even have a fingerprint scanner.
