You still deserve those downvotes. There’s nothing to not trust about passkeys.
Not sure what Google has to do with passkeys besides the fact that they’ve implemented them. Google implemented passwords too but I’m guessing you’re fine with those?
Passkeys are not exclusively controlled by oligarchs so I guess by your own admission you should consider them.
Well you’re in luck, they’re currently established and working in practice.
Youre get downvoted by the same MS defender chuds.
Fuck the billionaires.
The billionaire owner class are defacto untrustworthy.
No one is suggesting that you secure your online accounts with the billionaire owner class. They’re suggesting you secure them with passkeys.
That is not the takeaway here.
The takeaway is Passkeys are great technology but as implemented by Google, Microsoft, and Apple fall short of what they could be.
This isn't some "owned by the billionaire class". It's an open standard that's why Bitwarden and Proton both have implementations. Big tech of course provided implementations that are not as portable as possible, that's all that's going on here.
There's really not some big conspiracy to kill kittens or whatever. Passkeys are far more secure (and for most people far more usable) than passwords.
Proton, Bitwarden, 1Password, Yubico (via the Yubikey), and others (including big tech) already have their own independent implementations(?)
Even Keypass has at least a partial implementation https://github.com/keepassxreboot/keepassxc/pull/8825
Yes. Any website that has implemented passkey authentication can be logged into by any Passkey provider. There are no websites that “Only accept Apple passkeys”
I think you better understood their question; thanks for jumping in.
It will get there... https://passkeys.directory/ https://passkeys.2fa.directory/us/
It's still relatively new technology.
