@SimmerDownRaych what if you did but you aren’t ok

[Ricky Mondello @rmondello]

🔑 Huge news! Google’s announced that passkeys are available in Google Chrome 108. So we have iOS, iPadOS, macOS, Safari, and Chrome with support.

If you’re responsible for a website or app, or its authentication story, it’s time to look at passkeys. https://t.co/bZhUp4cZdx

I don’t know where I would be if it weren’t for the people I met on Twitter. 💙

@SimmerDownRaych yes

I rented a BMW this weekend so I know their blinkers *do* work. So weird.

[Ricky Mondello @rmondello]

We don’t need multi-factor authentication to protect against attacks like the ones in the news. We need unphishable credentials, like passkeys. Security doesn’t need to be cumbersome; “multi” is where lots of mitigations fail in practice. Ditch passwords; don’t bolt onto them.

@kgoggin I love The Expanse! Read the whole series, watched the show several times through. Can’t get enough.

@AirspeedSwift @WellsFargo Hi Ben! We landed a fix for this in the password manager resources project. Safari will be able to generate better passwords for Wells Fargo in the near future. https://t.co/xAzCBKBHHZ
