Yeah this seems like a big one. Of course password managers will add support too but that isn't an actual solution since those often cost money and require extra effort on the user's part.
Part of me feels this needs to be legislation that requires tech companies to settle on a standard that works cross-browser cross-device. I imagine something like the EU's recent moves to force Apple to support USB-C could work well here.
- PassageNick 4y agoThe problem with legislation like this is that it eliminates the possibility of better solution. What happens if someone invents a better interface than USB 3.0? Or better, why would anyone bother when a better interface couldn't be used?
