#166 – If You Used a Passkey, Why Are You Asking for a Code?

Passkeys are supposed to make your life easier. So why is Amazon still asking for a six-digit code after you just proved who you are with one? This week, Michael and Damashe dig into what companies are getting right and wrong with passkey implementation, including PayPal's rocky start and how one hardware security key can save you from a bad day on macOS. They also talk about Damashe's new office space, what it actually takes to organize a vending machine operation when you're blind, and why Braille labels still beat pulling out your phone. Plus: the GL.iNet travel router with built-in Tailscale, using Aira to read a Wi-Fi password off the bottom of a router, WWDC predictions including a folding iPhone neither of them is sure they want, and what happens to your whole week when you stop using Todoist. A lot happened. Almost none of it went as planned.
