Oh, cool, Apple developed a new technology it calls "passkeys". I wonder how they work. > Under the hood, Apple’s passkeys are based on the Web Authentication API (WebAuthn), which was developed by the FIDO Alliance and World Wide Web Consortium (WC3). Okay, so Apple didn't develop it. It's good to see Apple getting on board with web standards like WebAuthn considering how much they are dragging their heels on web standards on iOS but I just wish we could stop reporting on them without framing everything they do as groundbreaking innovation just because a man in a turtleneck sweater would have said so. Alternative headline: Apple brings WebAuthn support to iOS 16 and macOS Ventura
