I’d disagree that there has to be a trade off at all. Using hardware security keys or device based passkeys, secure authentication is actually pretty convenient now.
- JohnFen 2y agoI disagree that hardware security keys or passkeys are more convenient. I ditched them because they greatly complicated authentication for me.
- j5155 2y agoInteresting; I have had the opposite experience. Many websites will directly enroll my Yubikey and will even let me use it instead of a password, and logging in is as simple as touching the button at the prompt. It’s honestly much simpler then using a password for me, and MUCH more convenient then pulling out my phone for 2fa codes (especially for the university site’s painfully short session times)
- tessierashpool 2y agoyeah, the assertion is entirely false. there doesn't need to be any such tradeoff. there's probably a term for the cognitive fallacy where you assert that however it happens to be is how it had to be. it's like normalcy bias, but retroactive.
- JohnFen 2y ago> there doesn't need to be any such tradeoff. Maybe you're right. I've certainly heard others make this claim. I just personally haven't seen a real-world example of this being true.
