Passkey Authentication for Plex Accounts

Feature Suggestions
1

It would be great if you could log into your plex.tv account using a passkey (Passkeys (Passkey Authentication)) as opposed to an email & password.

In contrast to passwords, passkeys are virtually unphishable, easy to use, and highly secure by default - and there’s no need for a second authentication step like TOTP. They are being pushed by Microsoft, Apple, and Google (you can even sign into your Google account using a passkey: Google Online Security Blog: So long passwords, thanks for all the phish) and will, slowly but surely, replace passwords for the majority of online services.

For a service that can permit access to (and deletion of) private content, this seems like a good security step to take sooner rather than later.

A year later, adding passkey support has only become better as an idea!

Passkeys are not the end all be all:

There is some rough edges to smooth out with passkeys, but they are still vastly better for everyone’s security.

Plex should seriously consider adding this due to the recent breaches. Passkeys, by design a breach-resistant.
