Any company that still insists on forced password resets and frequent changes needs to learn about Social Engineering and Human Factors. (yiffit.net)

These are the same companies that don't support second factors, only have their app as a second factor, or only SMS second factor. Is it too much to ask for smart card or token (yubikey) support?

It won’t be too long now before everyone rolls out Passkey support, which will be nice. I fully embrace the death of the password.

I like your optimism.

And the death of Firefox along with that. Oh boy what a great future.

[–] PlatinumSf@pawb.social 2 points 11 months ago

Not sure why that would kill Firefox. Mozilla has done great work supporting passkeys and while their implementation isn't fully baked at the moment I have no reason to suspect they'll leave it incomplete.
