Reading up on passkeys: > Once you set up a passkey for a site or app, it's stored on the phone or personal computer you used to set it up. Services like Apple's iCloud Keychain or Google's Chrome password manager can synchronize passkeys across your devices.Permalink On twitter.com

I want to be a booster for this tech, but it's clear why the big companies are working together on this. When even YOU don't know how to log into your own services, the walls on your garden are essentially surmountable. They will decide when/if you change devices.On twitter.com

I'm not sure how evil Google or Microsoft will be with this, but I guarantee with 100% certainty that Apple will not allow you to port your passkeys away from an Apple device for "security" reasons.Permalink On twitter.com

A middle ground here is something I've been casually thinking about making as a joke: A site where the login is ONLY a hardware key (a la Yubikey). The OS is still in charge of managing presenting that to the app, but it's - critically - not in charge of storing it.Permalink On twitter.com

The process for logging in on a device that isn't yours in a passkey world is... Cumbersome. The process with a hardware key is identical no matter what device you're using. Present the key (via USB, via Bluetooth, via NFC) and the OS will use it to authenticate.Permalink On twitter.com
