[ PFIR ] Google is making their weak and flawed passkey system the default login method -- I urge you NOT to use them!
Google is making their weak and flawed passkey system the default login method -- I urge you NOT to use them! Google continues to push ahead with its ill-advised scheme to force passkeys on users who do not understand their risks, and will try push all users into this flawed system starting imminently. In my discussions with Google on this matter (I have chatted multiple times with the Googler in charge of this), they have admitted that their implementation, by depending completely on device authentication security which for many users is extremely weak, will put many users at risk of their Google accounts being compromised. However, they feel that overall this will be an improvement for users who have strong authentication on their devices. And as for ordinary people who already are left behind by Google when something goes wrong? They'll get the shaft again. Google has ALWAYS operated on this basis -- if you don't fit into their majority silos, they just don't care. Another way for Google users to get locked out of their accounts and lose all their data, with no useful help from Google. With Google's deficient passkey system implementation -- they refuse to consider an additional authentication layer for protection -- anyone who has authenticated access to your device (that includes the creep that watched you access your phone in that bar before he stole it) will have full and unrestricted access to your Google passkeys and accounts on the same basis. And when you're locked out, don't complain to Google, because they'll just say that you're not the user they're interested in. "Thank you for choosing Google." - - - --Lauren-- Lauren Weinstein lau...@vortex.com (https://www.vortex.com/lauren) Lauren's Blog: https://lauren.vortex.com Mastodon: https://mastodon.laurenweinstein.org/@lauren Pebble (formerly T2): https://pebble.is/laurenweinstein Twitter: https://twitter.com/laurenweinstein Founder: Network Neutrality Squad: https://www.nnsquad.org PRIVACY Forum: https://www.vortex.com/privacy-info Co-Founder: People For Internet Responsibility Tel: +1 (818) 225-2800 ___ pfir mailing list https://lists.pfir.org/mailman/listinfo/pfir
