Yeah, trust is a big thing for me when it comes to security software, so I wanted to be upfront about what the software is good/bad against. I personally think that moving away from passwords is worth it, even if the credentials aren't stored in silicon, but I can appreciate those people who want their keys stored as securely as possible.
- rrgok 4y agoAdmittedly I've done a little research, but every time I read about I don't understand how passkeys/fido/yubikey works. Is it guaranteed that all the services I use support passkey/yubikey/fido? If not, what should I do? Have some of services in a passkey/fido/yubikey (like yours) and the remaining in Bitwarden or other password manager? Can someone ELI5 how this works? I went to fidoalliance.org and honestly, I didn't understand a thing. I still don't understand Yubikey and its MFA, it feels so cumbersome and huge PITA to do it every-time. Am I missing something? My workflow now is: CMD+SHIFT+L, enter master-password once and that's it for the current OSX login session. Will Passkey or FIDO or Yubikey improve this speed of interaction?
- cmdli 4y agoPasskeys are still pretty new, and only some websites support them so far, though many are adding support right now. You can take a look at https://passkeys.directory https://passkeys.directory for a list of major websites that support it. At least with Bulwark Passkey, its a separate app that you only have to log into once when you open it. Then, when logging into a website, you hit Approve on the app and it should just work. Speedwise, it should be about similar to an optimized password flow, but security-wise it will be much better since you can't phish passwords from it.
