Setting the standard for tech shorts

[@romen5169]

For boomers yes

[@thegreatestbeing]

Love your simple explanations, to the point.

[@robdob]

Loving these loops Rene. Expertly explained too 👍

[@Dobbyle]

Really nicely done, I enjoyed it

[@markturner2402]

Love ur shorts, the circular tech explainer that never ends🤓

[@deathdogg0]

Wow I almost didn't even notice it was looping that was great!

[@RichFletcher]

Literally the only explanation that’s made any sense to me. Thanks Rene 👍

[@broderick7932]

these are good. & i really enjoy the looping format.

[@RynBrits]

Thank you for explaining it I was actually wondering how it would work.

[@conradofmc_ny6706]

How about if I break my device??? How can I log in from another computer????

[@adamb2216]

I have a question, what happens if i ever lost my phone? How do I get access without the passkey off my phone?

[@ntagPink]

You lose it, unless you generated that passkey and it was saved in a server provided by your OS.

[@allaboutferrets]

How about if you will loose your device?

[@Bless3757]

The inconvenient route is to make sure you have Passkeys to your services stored all the devices you own. But the more convenient option, is that Passkeys can be saved to your Google account or Apple ID. Other dedicated password managers like 1Password and Bitwarden are currently implementing the ability to store and use passkeys across devices. Wherever you sync your passkeys, just gotta be sure to keep the account secure.

[@Hard_7_Iron]

Great explanation!

[@yannickLamp]

So like SSH just design non technical user friendly.

[@ntagPink]

It does leave the device, when you use like a Keychain to save all those passkeys. The only saving grace from people using your passkeys are probably the biometric feature to confirm that it's you signing in.

[@devin5070]

If it works the way he says it does, then it does not leave your device he. Just explained why that's the case. You may be confusing passkeys with auto generated password suggestions

[@helmanfrow]

Steve Gibson's SQRL solved this problem earlier and better than the Passkeys consortium did but of course we don't get SQRL because it's open source and can't be controlled. There's a video topic for you.

[@djdeuce00]

This is a perfect explanation

[@jeremy6384]

but what does using a passkey look like? will we still type something in? use a finger print? press a button that says sign in?

[@tophercaesar5375]

How do you create one? I thought Apple was doing something for this but I’ve never been promoted for one

[@mchammer5592]

Tell me more about this salting process, sounds tasty 🤔

[@frenchpressfinance]

I'm confused. It's only 58 seconds and it cuts off just as you say "Which is why ..." Did something happen to the rest of it or is this functioning as intended?

[@MagicMikes81]

I think when this video is used on other platforms, it would loop the video.

[@zombiegun71]

If you watch it from the KZbin app on mobile it auto loops the video. So when he says “which is why…” it loops into the beginning of the video producing “which is why passkeys are…”

[@zakariaankis]

What if you lost your device isn't that means you lost your account?

[@JackMihoff6969]

Which is why what, Rene????

[@my3.1415]

surely sites are only as secure as the weakest link. Adobe for instance uses passkeys but still has access via a password that I can't seem to disable.

[@shimajda]

My device can not be hacked, private key can not be stolen. Can it?

[@DennySantos23]

what happens if someone has your public key. And they inserted into the website does the private Authorization then you to your device? how does that work?

[@Crisz445]

So, this is asymmetric cryptography, the public key encodes data that only the correct private key can decode and vice-versa. As long as you, and only you, have the private key, everyone else may have the public key. The process is simple, when you create an account your device generates a private key and a public key, then the public key is sent to the server. Whenever the server needs to authenticate you, it simply needs to send your device a challenge asking you decode a message, if your device do so correctly, you are good to go. Basically everyone can have your public key, because the public key cannot decode a challenge sent by another public key, only the private key can do that.

[@DennySantos23]

@@Crisz445 thanks for clarifying that part. Passkeys seems to be the future.

[@TheRythimMan]

Everyone and their mama is telling me "passkeys are safer and more secure". No one is telling me how to make and use one...

[@krinox4735]

Use google and search. Not that hard

[@SwiggyZero]

So passkeys are passwords but with a P2P style encryption?

[@jonbbradie]

Does this mean apps like dashlane and 1Password will be obsolete? Should I skip purchasing a password manager and just wait for passkeys to take over? Thx. -JB

[@scottishwildcat]

Depends what browsers and devices you use. If you only use Apple apps on Apple hardware, you can probably stick with iCloud keychain for now, and the transition to passkeys will probably be smoother. Many of us use 1Password because we want to sync with the other browsers and OSes it supports, though, and we'll have to keep doing that for a few years yet I'd imagine.

[@jonbbradie]

@@scottishwildcat thx for that. Good to know for planning forward.👍🏻

Passkeys are malware. Stop spamming nonsensical shorts.
