I was reading a story about one of the inventors/designers of passkeys, and he felt the implementation was a fucking shitshow. Wish I could find that article again.
This shit better be opt-in.
Oh it is, you just opt-in to not using that piece of shit Twitter.
Why? Passkeys are great. Though X can probably screw them up somehow.
Passkeys are a great option for people that don’t wanna deal with managing their passwords and have some else do it for them. That’s not everyone though, some prefer staying in control, so it should always stay optional.
Passkeys do one thing right. They are based on asymmetric keys as a proof of knowledge instead of transmitting the password.
I only keep it installed for service outages and breaking news. I don’t need an extra layer of bullshit to wade thru to see if Xbox servers are down.
