I love the idea of passkeys. They will be so great for my parents and grandparents.
I love the fact that Apple/Google/Microsoft are onboard, and now have implementations.
So why the frack are Apple/Google/Microsoft don't support passkeys on their own systems yet? They don't even support Webaunth.
These guys really need to set an example if they are actually serious about passkey.

Apple iCloud supports WebAuthn as of two months ago: https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2022/12/apple-advances-user-security-with-powerful-new-data-protections/ https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2022/12/apple-advances-user-s... Google has supported WebAuthn for quite a while as well: https://landing.google.com/advancedprotection/ https://landing.google.com/advancedprotection/ I'm not very familiar with Microsoft's ecosystem and I believe it's a bit more fragmented, but it seems that at least some portions of it do support it: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/account-billing/how-to-go-passwordless-with-your-microsoft-account-674ce301-3574-4387-a93d-916751764c43 https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/account-billing/how-to-g...
- kosherhurricane 4y agoBoth Apple and Google use webauthn as second factor, never the first.
- DangitBobby 4y agoI tried WebAuthn for the first time on MacOS a few weeks ago (on the WebAuthn demo site), and the site inexplicably didn't support the key that I've been using for the last 4 years for 2FA. It didn't even bother explaining what the problem was, but I assume they want me to buy Yet Another Physical Device if I want to participate. It's definitely still not there, and at this point I don't have high hopes for the future.
