This video demonstrates the process of adding a passkey to your PieFed account and then using the passkey to log in securely and quickly.
Firefox's support for passkeys is a bit lacking, especially on Linux, so this seems to work best on Chrome(ium) at the moment.
What are passkeys? Read on...
Passkeys are a passwordless authentication method for logging into websites and apps. Traditional username and password logins are vulnerable to phishing, reuse, and data breaches. Even two-factor authentication (2FA), which often relies on insecure or inconvenient methods like SMS codes or ever-changing numbers has its flaws. Passkeys eliminate these issues by removing the need to remember or type passwords altogether.
Passkeys are stored securely on your device and verified using biometrics or a device PIN, making them both more user-friendly and significantly more resistant to phishing, credential stuffing, and other common attacks. This makes passkeys a safer and more seamless alternative to traditional login systems. On Mac and Windows passkeys can be synched via the cloud, making logging in from multiple devices easier.
i want to setup passskey from my android chrome and it shows to go for a diff android or a usb instead of rolling up that fingerprint page for me . what should i do ?
Edit - you need another android then login then passkey and then select another android and it will popup a qr then go to Google Chrome in another android and click on the lense after that it will show wheather you want to create passkey or not
That's fixed now, thanks for letting me know.
It might take a few days for piefed.zip to get the latest code, I don't know what their update policy is.
