fellas, if your savior:

• can turn water into wine
• can make bread
• is risen

that's not your savior. that's a colony of fermenting microorganisms

pov you've just made a fedi account

nobody should be allowed to work in computer security until they've spent several years doing technical support for end users who can't access their photos of their grandkids because some ASSHOLE in silicon valley decided that they needed to be locked down like the fucking vault at fort knox

people writing down the password to their work computer and taping it to the monitor is a problem. sure. a hardware passkey is a solution to this. but for most people in most circumstances, writing down passwords to their personal devices in a way that they (a) are recoverable in case nana loses her ipad or whatever and (b) are recoverable by family in case nana fucking dies, is a FEATURE. NOT A BUG.

This eliminates common vulnerabilities such as: [...] Poor client-side password storage (e.g., written down, stored in phone contacts).

where is my fucking hammer

every single problem this purports to solve for normal consumers has already been solved better by web browsers that implement password generation and autofill

they can be used with password managers? great! you know what else can be used with password managers? PASSWORDS.

tying authentication to hardware like a yubikey or tpm makes a lot of sense in the corporate environments that gestate these brain geniuses. for consumer use cases it is fucking insane. a thousand years in super hell for all of you.

Passkey is the de facto non-technical term for a WebAuthn credential.[5][6] It is widely used in situations where jargon is unhelpful,

you can't see me but i'm making the jim office face at the camera rn

hey what's up with this "passkey" thing i keep hearing about? is it one of those things computer security dingbats come up with every few years that purports to solve problems with existing workflows but does it by making assumptions that don't hold for 40–60% of users and ultimately end up making things both less convenient and less secure? surely not

you ever think about how in english we're taught that there are five vowels with long and short versions but the long and short versions actually aren't long and short, they're just straight up different vowels
