Great, then I will probably never use it, and anyone who has an iPhone and another windows device.
Or any other mismatched devices ecosystem, the locked in ecosystem dream of apple is only applicable to extremely tiny amounts of people.
- g_p 4y agoThe technology is safe enough to use, as long as you stick to hardware tokens - I have accumulated a few of them over the years (quite affordable), and you can get USB-A, USB-C and NFC versions. You shouldn't get locked in with a USB hardware token - you can enrol it in Chrome on one computer, and then authenticate via Firefox in another computer. The issue is really the software-based "passkey" implementation. As long as you're not solely reliant on one company for login (i.e. you enrol multiple keys, one of which is portable and interoperable, AKA a hardware token) you can safely add software-based ones for convenience without getting locked in - you can always use the hardware token to get back in and enrol a new device.
- howinteresting 4y agoThe problem is that a lot of people are going to unintentionally lock themselves in due to Apple's and Google's marketing. It's going to be a miserable few years.
