Comment Re:So what's the advantage of passkeys again? (Score 1) 32

No, the argument was that the secret never gets stored on the server.

With a password, even if it's hashed it can be recovered with a dictionary attack or just brute force. And that's assuming they did the hashing properly - better to just remove the possibility entirely.

Passkeys only require a public key to be stored.

Another advantage is that it eliminates password rules and the possibility of them being weak.

Thank you for the explanation. But adding a passkey to an account without removing the password just increases the attack surface. So many services keep offering to do that.

I think they mean " The scientists /don't think/ they permanently removed the subjects' moral sensibilities " If ever there was a question about ethical experiments...

Perhaps the scientists tried it out on themselves first... The magnetism made them do it!

He wrote *physics* based, not *astronomy* based.

And, just to clarify, I'll settle for unreal game "physics" - I just want to see asteroids bouncing off each other instead of passing through.

Modelling light-speed propagation, quantum mechanics and/or quantum gravitation are strictly in the nice-to-have basket.
