Do you actually understand how any of the modern web works or does your knowledge stop at W3Schools tutorials from the mid-2000s?

12·3 days agoBitwarden lets you store passkeys in its vault, which I think is what you’re asking for? It’s mentioned in the post too.
No. I’m talking about using the password to directly derive the passkey. This would eliminate the need to store them in something like BitWarden.

33·3 days agoIn the scheme I’m proposing, the password never gets sent to the server.
The issue of password reuse is the password getting sent to the site, because the prevailing approach is to hash the password server-side. Passwords leak because they get stored in plaintext, or hashed using outdated algorithms, or get logged with request metadata–bottom line, they end up stored somewhere that an attacker can get their grubby little paws on them, or in a way they can reasonably recover them.
Using a master password to derive a passkey client-side isn’t any different than using a master password to unlock a password manager. It just cuts out the middle step.

35·3 days agoI feel like there’s some potential in password-derived passkeys, which would get around the storage and hardware lock-in issues. It’d essentially be a master password like for BitWarden, but instead of needing an app to store a bunch of generated passwords, the master password could be all you need to authenticate.
Most of the sources of compromise for regular users would be eliminated because the password never leaves the client.
I’d love to have a backyard someday private enough to try this, not for any new age healing reason, I just wanna know what the warmth of the sun on my taint would feel like

944·5 days agoMaking masks optional one whole day of the week hardly seems like something that deserves a boycott, especially if the alternative is the bar going out of business.
