Can't we say good riddance to all passwords yet? I yearn for the day where I can log-in everywhere using public key cryptography.

Can't we say good riddance to all passwords yet? I yearn for the day where I can log-in everywhere using public key cryptography.
- Shaddox 7y agoNot yet, I'm afraid. Passwords are the best of the bad solutions people came up with. For public key cryptography, the problem remains, as always, key exchange. How can one be sure you are who you say you are?
- enriquto 7y agoBut this only concerns the first usage. Once a public key has been acknowledged there is never further need for a password. It is only you who has the private key.
