Thank you!

Same. Fully agreed.

New and interesting ways to get locked out of your system.

Agreed. They put someone else between you and your access, between you and your security.

Lets give the guys at the Home Depot all the keys to our super secure house locks. Any time you want to get in, just roll down to one of 5 convenient locations, authenticate with the HD, and they will issue you a one time entrance pass to the house. Easy.

Bullshit.

--------- Oct 14 - 12:30pm... --------- There is a wall of text below your question and _none coherently, concisely answer your question: "What do passkeys offer users that rand strong password + password managers don't?"

This ^. It introduces MORE layers to phish. More external 'trust me'.

often my solution. I usually touch 'ForbiddenFolder', then chmod the file a-x.

Yes, this does not unclutter the home folder, but it does keep a program from touching places I don't want it to.

I don't care to have the machine rm -rf'ing on its own.

1. because they know better. You don't have to understand it, for them to be right.

This comes from their years of experience. When you also get those years of experience, you may come to similar understanding.

yes. and it's what I use every day.

the plan evil though.

Funny how a $20 cert is enough to prove identity and provide security for any domain on the web, but in order to run a calculator Apple hw, Apple HQ is the only entity on the planet capable of such complex security.

Contempt. use any apple device 2 updates back or more. you're screwed.

You would accept this in no other place in life, except that apple gives it for free, and puts a 'security' sticker on the box.

It's a racket. Planned obsolescence 2.0 - Users forced to update, update removes features, breaks working apps, breaks paid for ip ( literally removed from phones), apple blames the devs. bullshit.

All that, and not a single one here is surprised at zero days or trojans or malware that come right out of this process every week.

If it works, then why aren't we surprise when it doesn't?

Because we know it doesn't work.

It forces a change, where none is called for. Compatibility works both ways. What doesn't matter to me the lib dev, may for matter for someone else. The world is built on portable, flexible code, and pinning to something unnecessarily, breaks that one small part of the world. It's adding an unnecessary requirement. Life is hard enough.

Couldn't agree more.

that is not a thing. it's not how compilers work.
