    I’ll switch when it’s fully implemented in open source and only I am the one with the private key. Until then its just more corporate blowjobs with extra steps.

        And we all remember the huge drama about it because they allowed for taking the keys out and backup them up.

          I think a big part of it was exporting them plain text by default. I’m in the “I know what I’m doing” camp but I guess for someone who doesn’t that sort of handholdy stuff not allowing the export them without encryption stuff makes sense.

      That’s exactly how passkeys work. The server never has the private key.
