Big Tech passkey implementations are a trap | Proton (proton.me)

  • 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.

Not surprised,

Google too nowadays.

There's a reason why they removed their company motto "Don't be Evil"

don't be google

I thought they just removed the first word.

Google has obviously been crap for a long time, but that was just a dumb motto to begin with. It’s not aspirational, it’s not useful for anything and it barely requires anything of anyone.

They changed it to: Do the right thing.

It’s not much better, they’re still an awful company, as most companies are, but this is just the worst reason to rag on them.
