You think they wrote their own emulator instead of just taking one of the free ones on the internet (who they will likely sue later). That's cute.

Read the article, it’s literally about replacing Import/Export CSV plaintext unencrypted files with something more secure.

I.e. moving your passwords/passkeys between password managers. This is not about replacing stuff like OAuth where one service securely authorizes a user for another.

With passkeys you never need to worry about the storage method used by the site. Some sites STILL store passwords in plaintext. When that database gets hacked, it’s game over.

A public passkey, even stored in plaintext, is useless to an attacker.

Maybe that doesn’t matter for you or me, with our 64-character randomly generated passwords unique to each service, but the bigger picture is that most people just use the same password everywhere. This is how identity theft happens.

That’s exactly how passkeys work. The server never has the private key.

When a website gets hacked they only find public keys, which are useless without the private keys.

Private keys stored on a password manager are still more secure, as those services are (hopefully!) designed with security in mind from the beginning.

Was that atmospheric heating from the re-entry?

Because you cannot reverse a hash. Information is lost from the result.
