No technology in the world can protect you against every threat model and unlikely scenario.
What if the robber hits you in the head and you get brain damage and forget your password?
- deejaaymac 2mo agoMaster password to password vault stored on metal, buried in my backyard and I tell a family member where it is in case I ever get brain damage
- gretch 2mo agoFamily member gossips "that crazy [deejaaymac] always burying secrets in the backyard..." Or straight up betrays you (you slighted them at some family event)
- iamnothere 2mo agoIf you marry someone you don’t trust, you’re going to have a lot more problems than password compromise.
- pavon 2mo agoThat is not a rare threat model. Many people use iPhones and Windows computers. Fortunately, Apple has released iCloud Passwords which lets you access passwords and passkeys from a Windows computer.
- Melatonic 2mo agoDid not know that - how well does it work?
- TeMPOraL 2mo agoThat's the point: passkeys, and even 2FA, address rare and unlikely threat scenarios, while defeating most common use cases (delegation by sharing credentials), and making people vulnerable to most common threats (like, losing or breaking your phone).
- juancn 2mo agoA password has the best recovery process. Period. Write it down somewhere. It's up to me, no third party. I had more trouble with a failed 2FA than with a password.
