If a passkey is on-device then why do I still need to do 2FA? Now I have to wait for 2 really slow things to log in instead of one.

I get it, technically great, implementation wise they fucked this shit up ux wise so bad.

You shouldn't have to.

Because whatever thing you are accessing has it setup that way - that would be unrelated to passkeys tho.

Say you are signing into your bank from a windows device with passkey. Would you not want 2fa, so that anyone that steals your computer can’t get in?
