@cryptgoat platform-bound passkeys are an equivalent of OIDC-based “platform login” (like “login with Apple” or “login with Google”) for almost all practical purposes. They are even worse, because if an account is compromised and later recovered, the OIDC-based login remains secure, whereas stored passkeys are gone for good.
This explains why platforms are so interested in supporting passkeys and in the same time are so disinterested in allowing secure cross-platform migration. Passkeys are the way to bound users to the platform, not to provide security.
I think for corp IdP security teams will have to insist on using attested hardware keys. I am also to sure, if resident keys are any better then non-resident keys.
@alecm yeah…
Well, sadly, they did: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yarovaya_law Yes, we protested. No, they did not rescind. No, they don’t need to save their faces.
