    Yes, thank you. Maybe I am getting old but password+yubikey/webauthn was really top UX.

      What prevents passkey being used alongside password (+ email 2fa)?

        Email 2fa otoh is the worst UX I have experienced. I curse every time Claude sends me a magic link. Absolutely hate them.

          Not sure this is what I meant. Password is still stored, along will all the keypass stuff. If you have the option to login with the keypass... or the password - possibly sending you a link (or code) to the email.
