“Passkeys,” the secure authentication mechanism built to replace passwords, are getting more portable and easier for organizations to implement thanks to new initiatives the FIDO Alliance announced on Monday.

If the passkeys aren't managed by your devices fully offline then you're just deeper into being hostage to a corporation.

Y'all here talking so smart ignore another thing - the more complex your solutions are, the deeper you are into being hostage to everyone capable of making the effort to own you.

Don't wanna be hostage - don't use corporate and cloud services for things you need more than a bus ticket.

You are being gaslighted to think today's problems can be solved by more complexity. In fact the future is in generalizing and simplifying what exists. I'm optimistic over a few projects, some of which already work, and some of which are in alpha.

Thank goodness you didn’t mention any names

Projects don't react too well to premature attention.
