That's what happens with passwords.
- Sohcahtoa82 8y agoHow are the two parties supposed to agree when they've never talked to each other before? If I connect to https://www.SomeWebsiteIveNeverVisited.com/ https://www.SomeWebsiteIveNeverVisited.com/, how is the web server supposed to tell me where to get the key? Or if I, the client, am choosing where to get the key, how do I securely tell the server where to get it? Passwords work because they're being sent over TLS which we've decided is "good enough".
