Why passkeys are a step back for personal security: examining account lockout risks, platform lock-in, hardware key limits, and fragile recovery flows.

        How the fuck have you never heard of fingerprint copying?

        Every fingerprint scanner which attempts to apply liveness detection has been fooled.

        No biometrics is secure when used remotely. Ever. You can literally just replay the biometric data people send you after you create a phishing site and hack their accounts if it was sent raw.
