Reply to comment by [deleted] in RIP Passwords? Passkey support rolls out to Chrome stable | With a huge list of caveats, initial Google passkey support is here. by MortWellian

Do you even know how the PassKey standard is working? You don’t give Google anything with this.

It’s going to take time for people to grasp key exchanges unless you have been in tech awhile.

The fact is one way key exchanges happen everyday with various things. The fact this is FIFO based and FIDO2 while nothing is foolproof this is the only step in the right direction to potentially eliminate a vast majority of exposure for anyone.

I agree, forcing a non technical user to have a unique “password” (private / pub key pair) on every account will already be a huge improvement compared to todays standards.

You don’t have to use Google in the first place. I can have a passkey on my iPhone and use it to log into some website on a computer using Chrome. I already tried that with Edge, which supports it.

Part of the system is where you can use your own device to handle the credentials.
