Replying to nobody

Theo does a pretty good job explaining passkeys here, with a nice primer on asymmetrical encryption (public key/private key)

If you’re a tech newbie, it might be an interesting view.

Only thing that bothers me is that we've always had it. FIDO. But now (arguably) big tech funded the name change to "PassKey" and required platform authenticators and device information, aka the zero privacy version of WebAuthN

My understanding is that “PassKeys” can be shared between devices (via your OS account). Defeats the purpose of a hardware-based authenticator
