Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR Passkeys offer a secure, convenient option for authentication. Last fall the FIDO Alliance announced a new system for importing and exporting passkeys across devices and platforms. The Google Password Manager now shows signs of work towards implementing just such a system. Making security sound sexy is a pretty tall ask, but passkeys sure manage a solid swing at earning that label. The password replacements aren’t just easier to use than old-fashioned pa

We've all been there. You try to log into your bank account with your username and password only to be met with a generic "incorrect password" error. You double-check your password manager, try a few variations, but after too many failed attempts, the system locks you out. Now you're funneled into a tedious re-authentication process involving security questions you barely remember and a password reset form that smugly informs you, "New password can't be the same as the old one." You proceed to t

In this blogpost I will go over a vulnerability I found in all major mobile browsers that allowed an attacker within Bluetooth range to take over PassKeys accounts by triggering FIDO:/ intents. TLDR An attacker within bluetooth range is able to trigger navigation to a FIDO:/ URI from an attacker controlled page on a mobile browser, allowing them to initiate a legitimate PassKeys authentication intent which will be received on the attacker’s device. This results in the attacker being able to “ph

Passwords are ubiquitous, despite not being foolproof and cannot alone protect your online identity. Almost one-third of data breaches reported over the past decade happened due to stolen credentials, per Verizon, including some of the biggest breaches of all time. Instead, the industry has largely found passkeys arguably the most prominent solution to replace passwords. More than 15 billion accounts online can use passkeys, and big tech companies — Amazon, Apple, Google, and Microsoft, and oth

Late last year, I published a long post that criticized the user unfriendliness of passkeys, the industry-wide alternative to logging in with passwords. A chief complaint was passkey implementations tend to lock users into whatever platform they used to create the credential. An example: when using Chrome on an iPhone, passkeys were saved to iCloud. When using Chrome on other platforms, passkeys were saved to a user’s Google profile. That meant passkeys created for Chrome on, say, Windows, woul
