I started using “crypto keys.” They are secure and physical. I trust them more than allowing some company to maintain my data.
So, just as with passwords, will the most common passkey be.....passkey?
“…which uses cryptography…”…
The author of this article is a complete idiot. ALL passwords are inherently a form of cryptography.
I’m pretty sure the mark of the beast is going to be some implanted chip mandated by Microsoft.
because it'll let microsoft better track and datamine you, and possibly even analyize the data on anything you log in to, for their gain
Before evaluating the article, I need to know this definition. The article should include a definition of a password, for comparison.
So, it’s basically a bit like kerberos. Kind of a bother.
Yeah, NO.

I never make a Microsoft account just the Local login they let you do offline that I think stopped you from doing ,LOL
"Hashing, is a cryptographic process that transforms data into a fixed-size string of characters, called a hash, which cannot be reversed to obtain the original data."
I actually wrote a hashing algorithm for SSNs for one of my employers before SQL Server did it for you.
“ALL passwords are inherently a form of cryptography.”
Nope. Anyone can enter passwords. No encryption.
“I never make a Microsoft account just the Local login they let you do offline.”
They are going to eliminate that option. You won’t even be able to use it without an internet connection established and a cloud account connected in real time.
Bend over... Spread your cheeks... We’ve got your back...
No sir, not in my lifetime. It’ll be Linux for me before I ever allow that to happen to me.
Your “one time code” comrade what is it we have ways of making you talk.
I knew that... It is something I don’t have to worry about either. I am personally dumbfounded at how much folks will actually tolerate before making the minimal effort to rid themselves of this mess. :)
I read that Microsoft is doing away with the ability to create a local account in windows 11. So it sounds like you are soon to be required to have a bio scan in order to use your computer with windows 11. The Beast commith.
