Basically dedicated 2FA hardware.

If you lose it, you're fucked, end of story.

You do not need specific hardware to use passkey. For example you can use a password manager like Bitwarden and have your passkeys sync between multiple devices, including a good old regular computer.

Specific hardware car be use to secure how the passkeys are stored. For example, smartphones usually have a security chip that help s with storing encrypted data.

Your milage will vary with your corporate policies. You're not wrong, but you're not completely right.

I can't just pick up any smartphone and install a passkey manager on it. It has to adhere to some specific hardware requirements (like a dedicated chip or instruction set on a CPU).

So yea, in standing by the 2fa dedicated hardware line. It's easier than getting into the weeds on hardware device configuration.

What does this have to do with anything?

I can't just pick up any smartphone and install a passkey manager on it.

Sure, because “any smartphone” includes smartphones that don’t turn on, that are locked with a passcode you don’t know, or that are running a 10 year old OS.

Which modern smartphones (meaning, still supported by its manufacturer and running a current OS, i.e., iOS 17/18 or Android 14/15) don’t have passkey support? I don’t know of a single one.

Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
