passkey when signing in

lojomojo7 — Thu, 19 Jun 2025 23:52:33 GMT

Is anybody else as sick of that passkey thing as I am.

I am sick of my signing in being hijacked taking me to the passkey thing instead.

Ebay are not listening. I have contacted them, but they don't care.

How can I get rid of it?

Yes I am

No I don't know how to get rid of it

You are right eBay don't care, they do not take feedback/requests about things that are messed up on the site

I don't get it. Maybe because I haven't set up a passkey.

Handy hint.

The more security you think you require, by definition the more onerous the process is.

I don't see it - I had to look it up to see what it was.

I always get it on Edge, Chrome and Firefox. It's so frustrating and no, I have never ever used or set up passkeys in the past.

So I'm wondering if the people who don't get it are using Apple devices?

pnc, I don't get it and I'm using WIN 10 on Firefox.

But then I always ignored the suggestion to use it in the beginning.
