It’s not about encryption/security it’s about creating something that can’t be phished.

We know that 2fa is secure. But if an attacker can trick you into giving them the code, or typing it in a fake box. Then they own you.

Passkeys are made so that there’s nothing to give, nothing to type. You must control the device.

    SSH keys are more like passkeys than passwords.

    I’d love to see the state of online banking if everyone were to manage their own ssh keys

    In all seriousness, they are similar, but not quite in this context.

    There’s a good project on how to make ssh key infra more scalable and innately secure. Then you can use passkeys on top if you’d like.

    I personally use this on all my servers.
