@ijeff I’m never going to use passkeys because they require to have a lockscreen on the device, and I don’t have one.
You might think “Isn’t that kinda dangerous?”
And I say: My devices are never left unattended, so a lockscreen is just an obstacle to get back where I was. Honestly, try disabling your lockscreen. The fact that you can press one button and be right where you left off is priceless.
If it’s not instant either the hardware isn’t good or you didn’t register the fingerprint properly. Also the fingerprints stay in your device and never get sent to any company.
@evo I just tried that, unfortunately it still requires you to swipe the screen to actually unlock the device. So it’s not really the same convenience as having the last used app show up instantly.
I know it’s just one swipe, but I’ve gotten so used to quickly checking timetable or navigation apps simply by tapping the power button, it’s really useful on the go.
I don’t care about “safe”. I don’t let anyone touch my phone without my permission anyways. Even if, have fun looking at my incredibly average life, I don’t give a shit.

So, screw passkeys and their stupid rules.
Fingerprint and face unlock exist and they are instant
@DerpyPlayz18 They are not instant. I also don’t feel comfortable giving my biometric data to some shady company just so I can unlock my phone.

Or you could have the same convenience, only when it’s actually safe:

Good luck if your phone gets stolen.
