Oh, nice! Doesn't look like it's hit the Firefox Addons repo yet, but I'll be looking forward to it when it does.
uh. for the slower ones.... how does this improve security? ๐ค
edit. thanks @[email protected], @azron, @[email protected] i still dont really get it, but feel confident to trust you guys on this one.
This is the best primer that I've found: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2023/10/what-passkey
The main advantage is that, like hardware security keys, they're immune to Man in the Middle phishing attacks, but are far simpler to use so should hopefully see much more widespread use.
but it one would use a security key for the butwarden login, all of thst is pointless, no?
That is different kind of protection. ๐
The phishing protection is still very valuable. Also presumably you'd protect your Bitwarden account better than any number of random sites.
