I’m sad PGP didn’t become a popular way to log into websites. A challenge-response protocol could have even been built into web browsers. Big tech is reinventing that idea as Passkey, but with a very big tech flavor.
I’m already hearing about restrictions on exporting passkeys and some apps requiring that you’re not running a custom ROM on Android and stuff like that. Makes me worried they’re going to fuck that up and make it restrictive bs
From what I heard passkeys need google services framework for some reason. Don’t know technical reasons behind it but I would assume its bs given its google.
This should be what digital ID looks like:

I mean, passkeys are… sort of… PGP… 🤷♂️

Why should my OS be any of their concern?

Yes, they don’t work without Google Play Services. Google didn’t implement passkeys in Android, only their own services.
