Are you allowed to buy into a walled garden where developers can’t force you to sideload apps to use their apps? That’s what I want to do, but it seems the EU is making that illegal. It seems that users who value freedom can buy Android, an

The trouble is that if large tech companies are given the opportunity, they will force users to use whatever is best for the company, not for the user. The only way to stand up to large tech companies is with another tech company like Apple

I'm genuinely curious here: does anybody have a good, scientific overview of the studies of aspartame? I've heard a lot of studies about it, mostly brand new studies, but I haven't heard of a good summary of our understanding

Android support is possible, and on the roadmap, but right now Mac support is a priority. Android should allow these sort of virtual USB devices (unlike iOS) so it will eventually get added, but it might take a little while.

If you want something now and don't mind a virtual FIDO device, you could try out my solution Bulwark Passkey ( https://bulwark.id ). It's open source and allows you to export your credentials, so it's pretty user-f

For passkeys, I think allowing users to migrate their credentials wherever they want is key. I know Google/Apple/etc are working on a potential solution for that, but I think third-party solutions would be best from an "incen

Software-based passkeys can do this! Bulwark Passkey ( https://bulwark.id ) is a virtual Yubikey-like device, and you can back up the credentials file however you like.

Right now APIs for third parties are fairly limited, so it can be difficult to have support for passkeys with password managers. I was able to solve it for Bulwark Passkey ( https://bulwark.id ) by emulating a USB device and build

To those who are interested in passkeys but are worried about vendor lock-in and lack of control, I would like to plug my solution, Bulwark Passkey ( https://bulwark.id ). It's an open source passkey manager that allows you t

I 100% agree. I really like the idea of getting rid of passwords, but I wanted to be able to control my own information. That is why I built Bulwark Passkey ( https://bulwark.id ), an open-source virtual passkey manager which allo

One of the biggest problems with the adoption of passkeys, I think, is the lack of flexibility and possibility of vendor lock-in. What happens when you don't want to use Apple or Google? Will they support the transfer of credentials ou

Passkeys are still pretty new, and only some websites support them so far, though many are adding support right now. You can take a look at https://passkeys.directory for a list of major websites that support it. At least with B

My apologies; I open-sourced VirtualFIDO awhile ago but only open-sourced the actual frontend (Bulwark Passkey) about a week ago, and I forgot the license. It should be MIT licensed now.

Ah, that is odd. If you don't mind, could you go to %AppData%/Bulwark Passkey and taking a look at main.log or device.log and see if you see any errors in there? I would really appreciate it! Edit: I was able to reproduce the issu

I released it a week ago. It's moving along pretty well! The USB emulation method works well, as it can support any browser. So far, I haven't gotten too much push back from the more hardcore security crowd, since I'm upfront

Yeah, trust is a big thing for me when it comes to security software, so I wanted to be upfront about what the software is good/bad against. I personally think that moving away from passwords is worth it, even if the credentials aren&#

If you are looking for something like a password manager but for passkeys, I would like to plug my own product Bulwark Passkey ( https://bulwark.id ). It allows you to sync accounts across devices and is entirely open source. Over

Passkeys are definitely the future, and I think will eventually eliminate a lot of phishing attempts and other insecurity caused by passwords. I'm hoping that we will eventually see transferable, secure identities that you can use to l

So, I look a closer look and it seems like TailwindUI does allow for building open source software, so I made the Bulwark Passkey repo public ( https://github.com/bulwarkid/bulwark-passkey ) if you wanted to take a look!

That's exactly true. Right now, app megacorporations are only using Apple's App Store (with the protections like Ask Not To Track) because they are forced to. The moment those corporations aren't forced to, they will turn aro

That's a fair point. I would like to have the entire thing be open source for security purposes like you mentioned, but right now the frontend is built with TailwindUI, which is a paid set of components, so I was worried about open sou

I do agree overall, but it is very hard to achieve such a lean organization. Broad layoffs such as this tend to demotivate employees and cause your best employees to look for work where they don't have to worry as much about job securi

Something like Twitter perhaps, but Twitter itself? I wouldn't be surprised if those engineers created enough servers that need to be maintained and require the manpower. Cutting engineers without cutting servers/code would be a n
