If you think there's no difference between a password and a passkey, that kind of tells me you don't really know a lot about passkeys, so it makes sense you'd think they're just worse-implemented passwords.

- jbverschoor 1y agoThe only difference is that you sign the authentication. I think Facebook does the same thing when logging in with a password. It’s been crudely done for ages by sending over a hashed version of you password when submitting a form. Not the exact thing, but still. What is the problem they’re trying to solve? I’m not sure to be honest. Is it leaked passwords/keys? No difference there, as all passwords are unique anyway with a password manager. Is it ease of use? I hoped so too.. but nope. Is it anonymity? I hopes so too, but just like “hide-my-email”, apps will detect it, and require all other missing info such as your real email, name etc.
- stavros 1y agoThe only difference is that you sign the authentication, except all the other differences like the server doesn't keep a secret that can be stolen, it can't be phished, you can't reuse it, you can't mistype it, you can't store it improperly.
