they can already force your to install their app to receive a push notification (cough… google…cough…). if they really want to lock you in they will. passkey or not.

every single argument I’ve seen against passkeys could be said against TOTP and 2FA in general.
- SMS token: they need to know your phone number. it’s a privacy issue. also actual lock in to one device.
- MS authenticator with push notifications: actual lock in to a single app
- TOTP: you need a manager to store it, way more phishable than passkeys
and yes, you could use third part TOTP managers, but as you said, the average user wont. I dont feel any argument against passkeys is particularly strong.
not sure about every OS but the ios password app has a menu button to export them to other apps. I have exported mine to my own self hosted vaultwarden. took 2 minutes
passkeys are more phishing resistant than passwords, even with password managers
passkeys can perfectly be used with third party password managers. everything you say here can apply to passwords if you use the Os provided manager.
you can absolutely have 2fa with passkeys. most platforms don’t do it since it adds little value
17·10 days agothe US has streamed several executions already. they just happened to be extrajudicial carried out by police/ICE
“vote blue no matter who” they say….
I’m happy to see assholes suffer for their own hatred, but the problem is that things like food prices depend a lot on diesel price.
why? I really hope it was! so much funnier
