@filippo If there's a way to update the BitTorrent protocol to support dynamic or streaming data, I would love to hear about it. But as far as I know, it simply does not exist.

And FWIW the Zalgo text is in the same category -- it makes the text part inaccessible to screen readers as well.

I have this with an Ethernet cord. For a while I would just use a rubber band to hold it in place lol

@Ninji rookie mistake, they forgot the ".. or else you're going to jail" suffix on that part of the prompt 😆

@jonah to be fair the "lose phone = lose account" problem also happens with passwords, because of the issues with passwords outlined in the article: people chose passwords that are hard to remember, and then don't write them down.

I just don't like how with passkeys, there was an explicit design desicion by apple and google to _prevent_ someone from writing them down or copying them.

So maybe my complaint is only valid for a specific kind of person who wants to have their own copy of their credentials.... But IMO if you don't have your own copy, do you really have it at all?

I tend to lean heavily into the A and I parts of the CIA triad because in my experience that's where 90% of losses and issues occur for average computer users, while at the same time I believe the public consciousness has a bit of a blind spot around it, and usually blames the victim when loss does occur. "You should have backed up", "you should have used vaultwarden", etc.

@jonah mostly my complaint is with the way the mainstream passkey UIs hide whats happening from the user and take a "we know better than you" approach; there's no affordance for backup.

IMO its similar to how totp 2fa started. Then 2-3 years later after everyone started losing access to thier accounts end masse and complaining loudly, 2fa backup codes became the norm.

Same will happen with passkeys IMO. I'll wait.

@jonah well for starters if you register on a site on your phone, opt for pass key, and then lose your phone, you lose the account access.

It takes another system like strictly disciplined redundant device use or more realistically, a password manager, to be able to keep the passkey across device loss.

Note im not including google or apples own password managers in this, IMO they dont count because

1. It can be taken away from you, you use it at the pleasure of the company.

2. they don't allow export AFAIK
