Big Tech passkey implementations are a trap | Proton (proton.me)

  • Big Tech has implemented passkeys in a way that locks users into their platforms rather than providing universal security
  • Passkeys were developed to replace passwords for better account security, but their rollout by Apple and Google has limited their potential
  • Proton Pass offers passkeys that are universal, easy to use, and available to everyone for improved online security and privacy.

You still deserve those downvotes. There’s nothing to not trust about passkeys.

The billionaire owner class are defacto untrustworthy.

No one is suggesting that you secure your online accounts with the billionaire owner class. They’re suggesting you secure them with passkeys.

theres google, give me an alternative not exclusively controlled by oligarchs and i will consider it.

Not sure what Google has to do with passkeys besides the fact that they’ve implemented them. Google implemented passwords too but I’m guessing you’re fine with those?

Passkeys are not exclusively controlled by oligarchs so I guess by your own admission you should consider them.

i will, when i see these claims of openness estabilished and working in practice.

[–] EncryptKeeper@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

Well you’re in luck, they’re currently established and working in practice.
