AWS adds passkeys support, warns root users must enable MFA

This is a welcome change. I'm yet to find out how I plan to use passkeys but I'm happy that they are supported in more and more places.

I came to believe that great software craftsmanship starts with understanding the underlying technologies better. You can't rely on "easy solutions" and "quick fixes" when you want dependable systems. I write about technology to deepen my knowledge and also to help others solve problems.

I'm the author of the Building GraphQL APIs with AWS AppSync, the S3 and CloudFront Signed URLs, and the Promises and Async/Await in JavaScript books.
