No thanks. A kidnapper or the government also has access to my face and fingerprints. As tech changes, usable biometric data will likely be captured by 3rd parties from a distance as well.
I'll stick with something that I know and at least have some limited constitutional protection from being forced to divulge.
- the_snooze 3y agoThat's not what passkeys are though. The server isn't validating if you have a matching face. The server is only checking if you have the private key that corresponds to a public key registered to your account. The private key lives on your device, and may be encrypted under a PIN, password, or biometric. In all those cases, the decryption operation is strictly local. Let's say some crook makes a convincing copy of your face. With passkeys, that's still not enough to log in. They have to have your private key too.
