Title:
wishlist: Passkeys should be supported
Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Starting from 2022 the main big tech companies introduce Passkeys.
Or in the more official name Fido Multi-device credentials.
Basically this is a webauthn login, but the private key is distributed among
all the devices in a persons Google, Microsoft and iCloud account.
If a person wants to login in on a device not in the account a QR code
should be scanned after which the computers do some cryptographic
magic via Bluetooth. And the new device also has the private key.
This method is supposed to be a lot safer and more convenient than the
usual passwords.
As far as I know this system is open.
My wish is that Ubuntu and Linux in general also will support this
Passkeys thing.
Regards, Martijn.
