    Signing into my accounts on my children’s devices has turned from a straightforward process to an incredibly frustrating experience. I find myself juggling all kinds of different apps and flows.
This strikes home for me, I'm the main gatekeeper of passwords and service accounts in my home. 2FA and passkeys are so annoying to juggle.

My kids use prepaid numbers, once I changed one and forgot to tell Apple, when I realized that I needed the old number later, it took me a month at least to get it back.

I really like passwords, the security risks are well known and really easy to handle compared to 2FA and all that crap, specially when 99% of your accounts are not sensitive enough to merit anything fancy.

Try 1Password Family and store your passkeys in there?

Agreed, my wife even says 1Password is one of the best tech things I’ve set up just because it completely solves sharing passwords and stuff with each other.
