It would be a bad and dangerous idea, if what you said was true; but it isn't. Passkeys are just asymmetric key-pairs. There will be a variety of client-side implementations. Some may make export and backup difficult or impossible. Oth

As opposed to where you store your passwords? I can only speak for me, but they're in 1Password; if the police get my phone, the same thing protects 1Password as would protect these passkey private keys: FaceID, maybe a PIN if a lockou

Sure, but if that key derivation function is protected by a "you get 10 attempts then we wipe the keys" safeguard, the effective entropy is much higher. The question shouldn't really surround the effective entropy of the PIN,

I know of five or six companies using Next; none of them use Vercel. I tend to think that their moat against “write a five line dockerfile” just isn’t all that large. I use Vercel for my personal site; I’m familiar with the product suite; I

I agree with this take, at a theoretical, hypothetical, utopian level. But I think its only the right path when we can trust that the vendors of the operating system are neutral stewards; when they act to at least a useful degree in the ser

Its extremely expensive, and I'm aware of two companies migrating away from NextJS itself (neither were ever hosting with Vercel, though). I've only talked in depth with one of them, but the reason is complexity: they want "a
