A rebuttal to an anti-passkey, pro-TOTP post that has made the rounds on Lemmy as well.

A passkey is just traditional PKI in a trench coat, your biometrics are A) not even required as you can just use a PIN and B) are not sent from iOS when unlocking the passkey.

Yeah, I am not sure about the part of its not being sent

I love how you provided no rebuttal to my two points. The EFF even goes into detail on how it works. The beauty of an open standard is that you can verify these assumptions of yours.

I don't need to, if you read my comment again you would understand my point.

But let me try to breakdown what i mean; you need to wake up from your lala land, if you truly think and believe corporations that are actively participating in genocide and killing children will really care about “policies and terms of usage”.

Your statement reads like someone who used to believe the “don't be evil“ google policy citing it as evidence in his head.

If that is how you stand, then good for you, but i don't, actually i view such corporations as a dangerous entities to humanity.

Hope its clear for you now.
