Confused about implementations of two-factor authentication

Welcome @Kettunen It looks like you have a good grasp of the situation. Security and convenience are at opposite ends of a solution.

Passkeys.

Personally I wouldn’t discount two factor (2FA) it is the best current solution. So why not look into Passkeys and tell us what you think about them?
