Big Tech companies want to chain your passkey to their products. Enter Proton Pass, which allows you to manage and use passkeys across all devices seamlessly.
  • Big Tech has implemented passkeys in a way that locks users into their platforms rather than providing universal security
  • Passkeys were developed to replace passwords for better account security, but their rollout by Apple and Google has limited their potential
  • Proton Pass offers passkeys that are universal, easy to use, and available to everyone for improved online security and privacy.

    If I’m on my laptop, and the 2fa code shows on that same laptop, it defeats the purpose of it. The point is sortation of security privileges, ask this just adds more work while providing no less security to the device. It does protect you from remote compromise, though.

      It doesn’t defeat the purpose of it, as you indicate, it can protect from remote attacks.

        Also most or all of these should require some for of local authentication.

        For example I have 2fa apps on my phone, where I need to use them, so yes, that’s less than ideal. However

        • it protects against remote attacks
        • it protects against SIM attacks
        • and even if someone stole my phone and unlocked it, they’d still need my face id for every use
