I have said before, I'm personally not interested using "Something I have"/"device bound" as an authentication factor. I'm also not interested in the sync "workarounds" that store keys in the cl

"Something you have"/"device bound" is not what I want if I don't control it. In the case of passkeys, I don't have access to the private key, so I consider that not controllable by me. I'm happy to

"an employee simply forgot to remove it." And? That's all? This is why no one wants the gov't. to run things.

I heard about one in northern virginia which seems to be the front lines in this debate. It has onsite power generation which seems to be going 24/7 which is positively awful if you have to live next to that.
