    I know nobody cares but. I really wish the USA gov would produce open source, free password management, and push towards passkeys for login and make passwords a relic. The concept of paying a subscription for some service to help you manage the keys to your bank account etc… is just insane.

    Imagine if pajeet can’t login to your grammas bank accnt because he doesn’t have access to a passkey. Grandma can give him the pin, it wouldn’t matter

          Well first, taxes dont only pay for essential services. Though I would argue it IS essential in the digital age, just like airbags and seatbelts are legal requirements for cars, to protect you from yourself or others. We need gov sponsored password/key/identity management to protect the avg citizen from themselves (password123), and others.

          I know but they should.

          Then forbid the use of passwords in a 3 year time. Only allow passkeys if your platform have more than XYZ amount of users.

          >We need gov sponsored password/key/identity management to protect the avg citizen from themselves (password123), and others.
          Yes, let's make everyone poorer because morons use non secure passwords knowing that they use weak passwords.

            Passkeys by itself are a mistake and so do password managers without a sort of two or three-factor auth.

            Passkeys = MFA.
            Passkeys on smartphones require your phone pin/password/fingerprint/face/eyes to use an identity on a website/app or to copy to a different device, that is already a multi factor authentication (something you have and something you know).

            >~~*secure environment*~~

            Schizo moron, look up how passkeys work.

        what is pin and biometrics
        also need to know the target service and account name

        also could put another simple password in front of the passkey, like the word apples. then you have time before they crack that word to notify your bank to shut the accnt down. You would do this the same as if you lost your wallet, except the attacker has to additionally crack your passkey password, instead of just copy paste your credit card credentials.

            Then your statement will remain a delusion. As we have recently seen, free software can be backdoored as well and is certainly not free of vulnerabilities. Unless you can prove that software is somehow backdoored, it is not.

            Yes, no one said the opposite, open source is good because we can check the code and see if there are any shenanigans.

            >Unless you can prove that software is somehow backdoored, it is not.
            So if you can't see my hands right now they aren't real? or does my typing with them right now make them real? We don't need to see the source code of 90% of proprietary software if they ping their servers every second, scan your machine, and send all the data to their servers. They say it out loud, WE FRICKING COLLECT YOUR DATA. It isn't some """conspiracy theory""" or some bs. If you want to deny the truth that won't affect it.

            In case of serious software, you cannot audit that code yourself even if its open. Codebases of huge projects like chromium, gecko, android etc. consist of millions of lines of code and are constantly growing. therefore you kinda have to trust someone with it anyway, so I dont see why software being open source would make that much of a difference nowadays.

      Because if you tell illiterate normie to use keepass/whenever, in three months 90% of them will break it (loose database file, forget master password, overwrite file with old version and decide that it's program loosing data, etc) and go back to paper notes and one password everywhere.
