Sounds like a James Bond movie

It’s too bad we don’t still have Nash or Edsel. Even Mercury would be nice.

Then it’s a good headline. :)

Thanks for this. For the first time, an explanation of passkeys makes sense.

I take your point. But I would argue that the user needs at least to understand the basic theory. Otherwise you get me, who sees no benefit, resents when it’s imposed unilaterally, and finds ways around the inconvenience.

I must be dense. I just don’t see how that’s an improvement.

Admittedly my primary experience is with the code kiddies at my campus trying to implement Duo through a dozen redirects to Google, Microsoft, and whichever vendor platform we’re trying to login to. It’s a hot mess.

How do you authenticate your passkey?

I admit that passkeys have never made sense to me. You still have a username and password, but you’ve added a middleman who manages the password. Why not just use a password manager (without MFA, another useless annoyance)?

sponsored content and groups that a relational database has decided are "good for you."

I don’t think they could possibly care less what’s good for you.

Google are trying their best to make YouTube unusable. They’re about to succeed.
