"Use a #Passkey, they said. It'll be safer, they said...:

This is what?

#googleioconnect in the #Chrome authenticatiion session. Speaker is praising federated identity. And #passkey as an upgrade.

Nach dem Login per Passkey nach einem OTP zu fragen, ist jetzt schon etwas Overkill.

Ja, ihr seid gemeint, Amazon und Animexx.

Do any other #LineageOS users find you can use your fingerprint to open your phone (in my case, Pixel 3a XL), and in some apps, but in other cases when you try to add a #passkey, the fingerprint option isn't there, and the only choices are NFC security key, USB security key, and "Use another device"?

I've come across a bit of #passkey fud over the years and some misconceptions. I've written a general overview of the topic and added a FAQ section at the bottom.
I tried to keep the main part light on technical details with a few more technical explanations in the appendix below.

Feel free to reach out if you think I missed something or the FAQ lacks a certain question!

Big thanks to @ljrk for the technical QA and to @brahms for the QA of the German variant.

Passkeys: A comprehensive overview

Passkeys are everywhere right now. But Why should I care? My password is secure!\nIn this post I try to cover how we got into to today’s mess of authentication methods and why passkeys are a good option going forward.\nHow did we get here? The first computer password allegedly 1 dates back to the MIT Compatible Time-Sharing System (CTSS), with multiple terminals that where not user-specific but with each user having an individual set of user-owned files. At the time it seemed like a straight forward idea. Yesterday’s solutions like security questions about your mothers maiden name where also considered but discarded due to higher resource usage for something so unimportant like authentication.\n

So nice of eBay to make me click away a decent number of popups because it insists on creating a #passkey , while it won't just use the one that's already there 🤬

How come both #eBay and #PayPal have the worst login flows imaginable???
