Excellent news honestly. Trying to get people to switch to something encrypted and the one thing I’ve thought of is that I want to know it can continue indefinitely. Everything else in life costs money- we just never think of it computer wise because we pay with our data and privacy.
This can join threema with a solid revenue stream. I back mine up locally but would pay for this anyhow.
I’d like to see some documentation that says passkeys were intended to never be synced across anything.
Everything I have ever read is that it’s basically asymmetric cryptography like ssh keys. You have a private one, generate the public and give it to the site. It stops reuse of passwords and site breaches become useless as the public key is useless for attacking an account on another site, etc. (well, besides whatever data was lost in the breach which is outside the scope.)
I see no reason to limit someone having the private key on their phone, their desktop, etc. Having to generate yet another passkey for every device is inefficient and would decrease adoption of this.
I’d add one tip- you can go to annual credit report.com and get a free report once a year.
The trick is to request just one per 4 months. First transunion or whoever, then experian, then Equifax, etc. No need to wait a year for a current report.
The problem is no banking institution, etc. Would do that. They could simply ignore play integrity already but they don’t do that.
And with that, how long until there are no unlockable bootloaders? Then a fork wouldn’t matter at all and using a Linux phone with lineage likely wouldn’t even work due to lack of device drivers for android.
