The current passkey implementation is: Your google/apple/microsoft cloud account lets you log into websites without a password, using a 'keyring' of 'passkeys'
But we already had countless websites with a "log in with google" button, for users who want to authenticate using their cloud account, and skip entering a password.
So they could have just kept that... exactly how it was?
- rawgabbit 2y agoThe analogy is similar to swiping your credit card versus using Apple Pay. With “login using Google/Apple”, you are submitting the username and password which could potentially be harvested by malware or a key logger. With passkey/Apple Pay, you are submitting a one time token that has no value in the Dark Web.
