Apple, Google & Microsoft want to kill the password with Passkey standard
Apple, Google, and Microsoft are launching a "joint effort" to kill the password.
The major OS vendors want to "expand support for a common passwordless sign-in standard created by the FIDO Alliance and the World Wide Web Consortium."
The standard is being called either a "multi-device FIDO credential" or
just a "passkey."
Instead of a long string of characters, this new scheme would have the app
or website you're logging in to push a request to your phone for authentication. From there, you'd need to unlock the phone, authenticate
with some kind of pin or biometric, and then you're on your way.
This sounds like a familiar system for anyone with phone-based two-factor authentication set up, but this is a replacement for the password rather
than an additional factor.
Some push 2FA systems work over the Internet, but this new FIDO scheme
works over Bluetooth. As the whitepaper explains, "Bluetooth requires physical proximity, which means that we now have a phishing-resistant way
to leverage the user's phone during authentication." Bluetooth has a
terrible reputation for compatibility, and I'm not sure "security" has ever been a real concern, but the FIDO alliance notes that Bluetooth is just "to verify physical proximity" and that the actual sign-in process "does not depend on Bluetooth security properties."
That means both devices will need Bluetooth on board, which is a given for most smartphones and laptops but could be a tough ask for older desktop
PCs.

built in. It works great. The range is about the same as my computers
with builtin Bluetooth.

YKGee whiz, what was your first hintadoodle? The ones which claimed it
was and that are unambigiously using faulty pattern matching to make
the judgement, or was it something else? Please do be specific.
Amusingly, Sockboy essentially asked Pothead for that stuff. Nobody
is being controlled by RMS. Do you believe the nonsense Sockboy is spewing? Eventually, if you bother to pay attention... you'd see that Sockboy's
scheme is to 'carelessly' incite people and then play 'victim'.

any real work done and fully played with it. That is exactly what's transpired.
Snit likes to leave out such vexing little fine points, though. Who else
do we know who pulls the same drivel? Oh, that's right, Nospam. Our second Nospam. LOL.
Frankly I do not really care. Despite all the crowing Nospam has done
on this topic, the 'Computer Instructor' does not get how to do this.
It literally takes a couple seconds to select a range and 'reverse' it.
