I don't have an issue with simple hardware devices being used but for me that's overkill. And means I always need that device with me, and hope it doesn't break, or get lost or stolen. The only way to avoid these issues is to have multiple devices.
Im pretty confident MS, Apple, Google will be pushing for their implementations to be the only accepted form of this authentication. It's not like their isn't precedent for this suspicion. And while it's not immediately obvious how these companies can use this technology to track you doesn't mean it can't be done or that they aren't working on it.
- cyphar 3y agoWhy would they bother trying to track you through a specification which is specifically designed to make it hard to track users? If you're using one of these software-based SSO lock-in "tokens" then they can get all the information they want from telemetry (nee spyware) on the device.

- brookst 3y agoThat's a lot of speculation to be using as the basis for opinion.
- account-5 3y agoExtrapolation from known facts of past conduct more than speculation. Either one is a good basis for opinion, since opinion is entirely subjective.
- brookst 3y agoFair enough. I personal try to avoid feedback loops of forming opinions based on what I expect people to do based on my opinions. YMMV.
