every single argument I’ve seen against passkeys could be said against TOTP and 2FA in general.
- SMS token: they need to know your phone number. it’s a privacy issue. also actual lock in to one device.
- MS authenticator with push notifications: actual lock in to a single app
- TOTP: you need a manager to store it, way more phishable than passkeys
and yes, you could use third part TOTP managers, but as you said, the average user wont. I dont feel any argument against passkeys is particularly strong.
not sure about every OS but the ios password app has a menu button to export them to other apps. I have exported mine to my own self hosted vaultwarden. took 2 minutes
passkeys are more phishing resistant than passwords, even with password managers
passkeys can perfectly be used with third party password managers. everything you say here can apply to passwords if you use the Os provided manager.
you can absolutely have 2fa with passkeys. most platforms don’t do it since it adds little value

7·10 days agomost EV chargers can be locked so only you can use them (normally with a RFID or BLE tag).
Also, having chargers in apartment parkings is absolutely viable. it is more expensive to install than in a house. Not sure about the US but where I live (Spain) I know people that have them without issues

4·10 days agoI think the issue is that it becomes an everything or nothing. some people want to give apps access to their own documents but don’t realize their are also giving access to things like their chat messages, cookies, etc.
If they aim to provide a more granular approach while still allowing full access to those that need it, Im ok with that

4·10 days agoEVs are perfectly fine, even with current charging speeds. the problem is not fast charging but AC charging coverage. everyone should be able to charge their cars at home or work.
The thing with charging times is mostly anxiety based on fear of the unknown rather than anything tangible

Explain Like I'm Five@lemmy.world•ELI5: Why do AI web scrapers take down sites?English
21·29 days agobecause you are clearly minimizing the impact of AI crawlers. sites don’t go from 1000 page requests /day to 10,000. I’ve seen sites going from 50~100 request per minute to 10.000 request per minute and they are mostly bots. no matter how efficient your site is, if the server cannot manage the connections it does not matter whether the content is cached or not.
And caching does not solve everything because many cloud providers charge for it, so even if you could potentially deliver them, it suddenly becomes too expensive to do so.


they can already force your to install their app to receive a push notification (cough… google…cough…). if they really want to lock you in they will. passkey or not.
