I use a yubikey. But AFAIK, Apple doesn't actually use passkeys for iCloud/Apple ID authentication.

Not if the Passkey was synced (ex: you used iCloud keychain). If the passkey was not synced, then I would have to assume it would be the same if you lost a physical hardware key.

Safari is my primary browser, but I do love some of the UI/UX things Arc is doing. But it's not enough to pry me from Safari, largely due to just how engrained in the iOS ecosystem I am (Apple Pay, Passkeys, Login with Apple, etc.

Google has actually had this rolled out for some time. I've been using a Passkey on my account for the better part of a year. For whatever reason, they're just now announcing it.

Passkeys can also be used in addition to passwords, as a form of 2FA. I've seen a number of sites approach Passkeys in this manner. Or if you really wanted to, you could flip it. You can allow the Passkey to be the "password"

Google actually outlines that very scenario near the bottom of their announcement: > Using passkeys does not mean that you have to use your phone every time you sign in. If you use multiple devices, e.g. a laptop, a PC or a tablet, you c

This isn't true. The FCC broadband map can identify individual postal addresses, indicating what is and isn't available at that specific location. I have personally used this to identify false information that was provided by some

I'm curious what benefit this would actually yield to you? Is it simply just the case of not having to leave the app? Because aside from that, there would (likely) be no IAP; you'd still be required to give your financial info dir

TV+ is close and seems to be following the HBO model. At at a fraction of the cost (currently). But I agree. HBO is one TV service I don't mind paying annually for.

I think you mean app store subscriptions. Apple Pay and app store subscriptions are two different things. But I do agree with you; I see three likely scenarios: 1. An application offers two payment options: app store and standalone, with a

Correct me if I am wrong, but you're using OpenAI simply to answer queries/questions, not to perform any actions. In that sense, it's not really an assistant. It's not creating reminders, sending texts, reading your mess

All kinds of FOD (foreign object damage) can cause issue, regardless of its size or material. Look at what damage a small bird can deal, especially to a jet engine.

I kind of feel like this is being done already with Webauthn and Passkeys. Another couple years of user's upgrading/updating devices, and the option to use a passkey may be as ubiquitous as using SMS for MFA.

I would assume so, but I'm not 100% sure. I personally haven't yet messed with Passkeys much aside from use on a couple of sites that have implemented them. My working assumption is if you wanted to use a new browser, you'd h
