HN crowd understands ssh certs and the difficulty of key exchange. Most others simply don't. So they need to simplify.
If the result is that users are not using passwords, then aren't passkeys an alternative to passwords?
- sillysaurusx 3y agoTheir point was that at some step along the way, you do need to use a password. Case in point, creating a new google account as a 13yo. If you don’t have a password and you lose your one device, you lose everything. This isn’t hypothetical; it just happened to a family friend. Not sure why the discussion got booted to the bottom of the thread. Looks like it’s a lesson not to label your comment a rant.
