Great explainer / FAQ

I'll probably still use my Precursor and Yubikeys for the most part, but I'll definitely enable Passkeys wherever they are an option

if you’re syncing passwords through a browser, a password manager, iCloud Keychain, or one of the Microsoft or Google equivalents, be aware that you are already trusting a cloud service

And this is a bullshit statement anyway.

I keep my passwords in KeepassXC and sync them with SyncThing; KeepasXC is absolutely a "password manager." There's no "trusting a cloud service" in there, anywhere.

Edit: 100% agree with you. I want proof that Google et al have no ownership of my identify before I use them.
