How do you log in anywhere without a computer? You have a wifi receiver implanted in your head?



Who said they would be on the moon? We’re surrounded by computers we can borrow all the time.


Without a 'personal computer' that contains your passkeys.

Next up, cloud based passkey proxy services. Store your passkeys there they auth for you after you give them some other damn auth method.


Yes, this is how we already use a password manager like iCloud Keychain or 1Password.


You can't actually log in with passkeys using iCloud Keychain or 1Password when borrowing a friend's phone. Bitwarden has the same flaw, you need the software to help you do the negotiation in a way that can't be copy-pasted.

Garbage standard, terrible implementations everywhere, my favorite is when logging in with a passkey they still demand SMS 2FA.
