“Passkeys,” the secure authentication mechanism built to replace passwords, are getting more portable and easier for organizations to implement thanks to new initiatives the FIDO Alliance announced on Monday.

The real problem is not passwords so much as trusted sources. Governments should have an email account that citizens have a right to and will not go away and have local offices to verify access issues.

well they deliver your mail. I am envisioning the same protections but also you don't have to use it in general. but it would be how the government would send things to you.

You'll need to read the article I don't feel like breaking it down for you.

Im familiar with the concept and disagree. Just giving you a chance to back it up. You see anything can be called a false equivalency and each specific equivalency would have specifics on why.

Buddy. If you're not able to tie in the conversation to the concept I can't help. I recommended pasting the concept into an LLM to explain it to you.

Or if you're looking to argue with a stranger on the internet... I can't help you there either.

I don't need it as its not a false equivalency.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ okay chief

I don't want my government hosting my email.

The last time they had to do anything important they stoled all the sensitive data in plain text in an Excel spreadsheet and then the spreadsheet got corrupted so they lost everything. Of course they didn't have backups.

But at least since it was stolen, the backup was hosted for free on the hacker forums /s
