There's no other factors when a thief already has your phone unlocked, which is why it's a bad point to use against passworldess authentication in this argument.
I see that the comment I initially replied to has been edited, but it still reads as though the second factor of 2FA is itself 2FA:
Sorry but that's just you misinterpreting it. I was explaining what passwordless authentication is like compared to the current password+2FA system, in which passwordless is basically just going straight to the 2FA, not that passwordless is 2FA. You don't need to explain 2FA to me, I very much know what it is lol
it might seem like enough if your email is protected by 2FA—but not if you mistakenly leave your email logged in on a device someone else has access to, which may sound stupid but it definitely happens.
This is the worst argument that people keep coming back to. If you have left your email logged in on a device that someone else has access to, you've been compromised. You don't use that as an argument against other services.
Also passwordless isn't only authenticated by email. It's usually done via an authenticator app.
Because there’s nothing to do anything about. Why would they be sanctioned?
If you love being stuck in the dark ages and hating all innovation and new tech, go for it.
Congratulations, you’re seeing what communism leads to EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. This is why people that aren’t smooth brains know that communism isn’t the utopia that leftists and 90% of Lemmy users think it is. It always ends in fascism, elites, and keeping everyone else held down on the bottom.
Huh?
I don’t care if you block me.
Communism isn’t right wing. You’re saying it is.
Public service spending isn’t a subsidy.
Nothing about EVs are “renewable”. The government subsidies for “renewables” are one of the biggest examples of corruption we’ve ever seen.
Passwordless isn’t 2FA…..it’s passwordless. I’m not calling it 2FA.
Do you think toggling hdr is the only thing copilot can do? Do you not understand examples?
My example was perfect, but you got yourself twisted up in knots trying to pretend that firstly you understand what these AI tools can do, and secondly that what I made it do is something that is easy for all users to do as quickly as the AI agent can do it. It shows a complete lack of understanding of the entire concept of AI agents and their abilities and reasons for existing. Now you’re just digging in your heels and digging yourself further into the hole because you don’t want to admit that there are massive use cases for LLMs/AI.
The AI has access to all of the database structure, including primary and foreign keys. It doesn’t hallucinate when you’re getting it to tell you about a set of data like that. With these agents you also can give them a massive ever evolving prompt to “train” it on what to do and what not to do, and how to interpret things.
It’s clear as day that you have literally zero experience in the field, so quit while you’re behind.
The tech “enthusiasts” of Lemmy are really showing their arses in here lol. They have a “I took 2 semesters of computer science so I’m somewhat of an expert” level of understanding and mentality.
There’s a reason most big tech companies are starting to move to passwordless logins. If 2FA is the ultimate protection about unauthorised access, the password is ultimately irrelevant - and given all we know about password reuse and data breaches, getting rid of them is a good thing.
This isn't one of those times. We're just scratching the surface of AI. Anyone saying anything absolute like it's impossible for them to not hallucinate is saying "No one should listen to me".
