Ok that's fine but that assumes the consumer is going to have more than one device, and has the wherewithal to authenticate to the same service from multiple devices.
Since this technology is in a large part a response to consumers utilising passwords badly I don't see this as a valid assumption.
Let's ignore that some consumers won't have their own devices and therefore won't be able to use any service with this in place. I know people who do online banking at the library because they have no choice.
My current set up with my password manager offers way more flexibility. And the only downside it that the password gets transmitted, encrypted, but it leaves my device.
- signal11 4y agoI’m really interested in 1Password’s approach to WebAuthN[1]. If they can deliver on their cross-platform promise, other projects will likely be able to do so too. [1] https://www.future.1password.com/passkeys/ https://www.future.1password.com/passkeys/
- account-5 4y agoI'm definitely all for passkeys (public/private key cryptography) as a replacement for passwords. But like passwords it needs to be in my control, cross platform and device, and not relying on some multinational targeted advertising cooperation's goodwill. Hopefully keepass[xc] role out support too.
