> Obsession with passkeys are about to turn your security keys (yubikeys, feitian, nitrokeys, ...) into obsolete and useless junk.
I'm sad about that too but I'm finding some relief in the fact that non cloneable / non shareable physical security keys aren't going to be totally obsolete though: they're supported by OpenSSH and shall probably be so for a very long time. Even Google teaming up with Microsoft teaming up with Apple cannot fuck that one up in the near future.
Not that it's much of a consolation.
But yup, it's really sad how a conglomerate of the biggest actors managed to fuck up security keys while riding on the security benefits non-cloneable keys do bring:
"It's physical non cloneable non shareable security keys but better because... More convenient for they're actually not physical and actually cloneable and actually shareable".
I saw it here on HN too on the various threads on passkeys: "It's better because it's more convenient".

I won't post more because it'd be swear words.
