I had this one and loved it so much. Tiny little bright red puck shaped thing. I wish they still sold them

@rmondello
Sadly, passkeys still fail at a lot of usecases. I can't recommend them as anything other than a convenient way to log in faster and certainly not as a password replacement. Saying "I don't care about other people" seems so harsh

The biggest thing is if I wanted to log in to Netflix on my sister's computer, with Passkeys this is just impossible. (no bluetooth) Or log in to Fedex's computer to print a shipping label, etc. Without this it's just really not possible to use passkeys as the only form of login.

And being able to be totally locked out remotely is terrifying! Anyone not willing to self-host bitwarden and make backups should be keeping passwords in their heads for any important accounts like email.

I have other gripes too, like how new the backup mechanism is and how implementations are limited to only backing up to specific blessed managers. & unlike passwords, passkey managers can at any time choose to block export and the managers presented by default for most people are not trustworthy. & ofc the spec allows for whitelisting managers w/ attestation even if it's not used often yet.

@anubiarts I’ve found the encryption of Proton mail to make the experience slower and less polished than Gmail , particularly around search.

If your goal is to move off of big tech and to a company that does not sell your data but not necessarily be encrypted, I’ve been very happy with Fastmail.

IMO. email encryption protonmail style isn’t worth it anyways because the metadata isn’t encrypted (who you’re talking to and the subject lines of every email) nor is the copy held by the person you sent it to so it’s still out there. For things you want to be secure against government access, use signal.

@peatbogfaery bottom center and top right are my favorites for sure.

cool pattern!

@WanderingInDigitalWorlds proton's security is overrated imo, see: https://ownerofhappy.org/encrypted-email-bad

idk if I agree with everything, but unless you're both on proton then its unencrypted on the other end anyways and they don't encrypt the subject lines, and overall I found Proton Mail way harder to use than Fastmail (and ofc the owner's a dick)

Don't use either if you're sending contents that the govt absolutely must not be able to see.

For me, having it be under my own domain name is the important thing because then I can switch providers whenever I please. But that's more about lock-in than security/privacy.
