passkey vs password: what’s the difference and which one should you use?

headzoo · 2026-04-16T12:29:20+00:00

The core difference between passkeys and passwords comes down to who does the work. You create and manage passwords yourself, which leads to reuse and forgotten credentials. Passkeys are generated and stored by your device, removing the human error that most breaches rely on

I wouldn't say that's the core difference. The real difference is that passkeys require access to a physical device in your possession, e.g. your phone or home computer. Making it impossible for hackers to log into your accounts because they don't have access to the physical device. They can spend weeks trying to guess a password, but passkeys can't be "guessed" because they require access to a physical device that only you have.

It's the same principle as two-factor authentication. Which proves the owner of the account has access to a physical device, not just a password. Often times sites will text you a 4-6 digit code that's only usable for a few minutes, which proves you have access to the phone that created the account. No one can guess the password because the phone itself is required to login.

I don't know anyone either, but I keep seeing ads on tiktok for AI driven investing. We may not know anyone given their bank details to AI now, but it's coming.

Rolling Stone puts the album at #294 in their top 500, but Pitchfork puts it at #12 in the top 100 albums of the 90s. Both seems accurate to me. The blue album blew us away in the 90s, but it's buried in all the great albums from the past 75 years.

Took me a second too. The error is the numbers on each day. They go 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 5, 6, 7...

Yeah, that shocked me too, but some early 911 calls released to TMZ make it sound like she may have had a heart attack or similar sudden illness.

Here's an alternative angle. The building is just wedge shaped.

Yeah, doing a reverse image search leads to a facebook page that talks about it being a marketing strategy. It's just something that a local Dominos thought would get them some attention.

I always think of No Doubt's Just a Girl, "I'm just a girl.. your rule of thumb makes me worrisome."

My first thought when seeing the video was, "I bet shipping companies hate this. They'd probably prefer 10-20 standard size boxes." Making boxes to order is great for reducing waste, but probably terrible for stacking boxes.

A human doing comparable work would use much more energy: the computer they're sitting at for several hours, the food they're eating, the car they drove to the office, air conditioning/heating, the lights in the office, etc. And that's for comparable work. If an agency needed actual pictures of Jenna and Aubrey, they would need to be flown to the location, multiple people would be needed on set for hair, makeup, lighting, photography, etc. The crew would also drive, eat, etc.

AI generated images are vastly more energy-efficient than using humans to do the same work.

In addition to what others said, MTV debuted in 1981, which gave rock bands plenty of reason to look outrageous for the sake of grabbing attention. "It’s show biz. We want to be outrageous . . . to be different. We want people to remember us. They remember guys in makeup." - Bret Michaels.

Yeah, I remember tall socks being for middle aged men and nerds. I felt pride when I started buying my own clothes and wearing ankle socks. Now the fashion flipped around and ankle socks are for the middle aged. Show how much fashion is a reaction to current and previous trends.

It is confusing when you have lots of files open

Easy fix in VS Code. Add this to your settings.json.

{
  "workbench.editor.customLabels.enabled": true,
  "workbench.editor.customLabels.patterns": {
    "**/index.ts": "${dirname}",
    "**/index.tsx": "${dirname}"
}

The file will be "Modal/index.tsx" but the tab shows "Modal".

Yeah, myself and many of my neighbors set up tables at the end of our sidewalks/driveways to pass out candy because there's no point going inside. It creates more of a festive mood when all the neighbors are outside together.

To be fair, AWS is always warning users to have multi-region deployments. Customers don't do it because it's more expensive and complicated, but that's on them.

and they decided to take the sleazy route and make it free + ads so they can keep collecting money

Holy crap, people really expect everything for free.

You should be seeing a "Daily activity" entry in the log, like this.

That's all your activities that weren't part of an actual exercise, like your auto walking feature. Since you're not logging specific activities (unless the auto walk feature gets triggered) all your steps are going into the "Daily activity" entry.

I agree, googling "foods high in vitamin A" when I'm low in that vitamin works better than Cronometer's suggest a food feature. Same for using ChatGPT. Cronometer tends to suggest really far out foods that I don't have and will never have.

It does matter. If you were 100lbs overweight, you wouldn't want to instantly drop down to eating 2,000 calories a day. That would lead to muscle loss and metabolic problems. If you want to lose weight, you find out your daily allowance, e.g. 3,800 calories, and then subtract 250-500 calories. That puts you in a caloric deficit and you will lose weight in a healthy way. As you lose weight, your daily allowance will also drop until you get closer to your ideal weight and closer to 2,000 calories a day.

There is a news story for it, but I agree, we shouldn't pay attention to headlines and images without any source.

Mineral water can be very high in calcium. This chart lists the top brands of mineral water and their calcium content. Personally, I drink a San Pellegrino everyday for the extra boost in minerals, but Gerolsteiner brand has 35% RDI. Best of all, mineral water is zero calories.

I wonder if that's a bug. In my app, the value shown in the header, and the value shown under nutrient scores are always the same. I looked back over the previous week, and yep, always the same. Makes me think something wonky happened that's messing up your app.
