But do you need passwords? The way things are setup now you do, the password is the recovery mechanism. If the recovery mechanism was instead something like "photo of face next to government ID" then Google could stop using passw

If I understand it correctly it will avoid phishing, assuming people notice there's something up when they see a page asking for a traditional login for no good reason when they have passkeys. And it may be a transitionary step towards

For now at least, they saying you can still login with traditional methods as a backup even if using passkeys. Is it possible to control the credentials in your phone and copy them somewhere else?

Someday, we will have brain reading technology to extract information from a newly dead brain, like we have to extract it from a RAM that was just turned off https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cold_boot_attack

Yes, that's mostly it.

It at least avoids the user being phished or being compromised by reusing passwords. But it seems in this case the account recovery is just using the password so the passkey is mostly convenience and maybe Google trying to move things away

That does seem circular in Google's case, no? What cloud storage?

A FAQ at the bottom answers some questions https://safety.google/authentication/passkey/ . Seems that the recovery if you lose the devices with stored passkeys is still using a password. And will it be possible to

Posthumous respectability perhaps. But as far as things go, I didn't like my leaked obituary so I decided to do something good is not pathetic IMHO.

A bit too far for me but it is unfair that economics gets one but the other fields neglected by Nobel don't.

I'm sure it feels intuitive when you have the answer but I am slightly surprised since women working in factories (and for lower wages) was a major issue at least from the 19th century.

by grotorea 3y ago
Eh, you can just get the price and include it in the budget as a monthly expense, no different from any other. Consider that the normal one time price will only last for as long as you use the OS. Why is a one time fee that will last an und

Windows is free because the price is bundled. There's the possibility that the PC will be cheaper with a subscription since the OEM won't have to pay Microsoft for the Windows license if it's the end user paying the subscript

The robustness principle applied to memory? Like when the browser adds the missing closing HTML tags instead of telling the dev to fix their code? We sure we want that?
