UCSD should move away from 2-Factor (Duo Authentication) to Passkeys
Passkeys are multitudes safer and are also less annoying. Students wouldn't need to have a separate app for login and can simply use their password manager, browser, or even their OS' built in passkey authentication system. Some companies do this wrong and build 2 factor *on top of* passkeys. That is wrong. Passkeys should replace 2 factor.
