A rebuttal to an anti-passkey, pro-TOTP post that has made the rounds on Lemmy as well.

True story … take it as you like,

my 8 months old reddit account was filter flagged as a bot after commenting the following

“death to the Epstein class and fuck Israel the genocide state”

The only way to get it back according to reddit was if i used IOS authentication passkey.

Not the normal password manager i use on Firefox but no it must be passkey on ios.

Now i am convinced that 8200 unit of the Zionist regime have my facial biometrics.

    This ^

    the idea is that there will be a 'central repository of trust' and it ain't you. the step of moving that to 'verifying you' is short. the next step of monitoring you comes for free. the next step of managing you is the plan.

    A passkey is just traditional PKI in a trench coat, your biometrics are A) not even required as you can just use a PIN and B) are not sent from iOS when unlocking the passkey.

    I love how you provided no rebuttal to my two points. The EFF even goes into detail on how it works. The beauty of an open standard is that you can verify these assumptions of yours.

    I don't need to, if you read my comment again you would understand my point.

    But let me try to breakdown what i mean; you need to wake up from your lala land, if you truly think and believe corporations that are actively participating in genocide and killing children will really care about “policies and terms of usage”.

    Your statement reads like someone who used to believe the “don't be evil“ google policy citing it as evidence in his head.

    If that is how you stand, then good for you, but i don't, actually i view such corporations as a dangerous entities to humanity.

    Hope its clear for you now.
