Would have been cool to include an animated example.

I assume they're going to use it on Apple.com, the same way that they were using backdrop-filter to simulate the frosted glass on earlier iOSes

The emoji is gone but the content is still there.

Considering my iPhone alarm still sometimes fails to go off (it just shows the alarm screen silently), I'd be inclined to believe you.

In Chrome Devtools, in the bottom panel, you can select WebAuthn, click Enable virtual authenticator environment, and create all the test passkeys you desire.

I used to use Pixel Bender before I could write stuff in Stage3D instead. Neat stuff!

No examples?

New comment by echeese in "Ask HN: Why do we need "Passkeys""

echeese — Tue, 17 Oct 2023 02:46:55 +0000

You can add passkeys for each device (e.g. Windows Hello) or use cloud-synced keys (iCloud, Google, 1Password, probably more)

Something you have: Your phone

Something you know: Your pin

Something you are: Your FaceID/Fingerprint

It means sum, so 55555 would work

Elo isn't an acronym/initialism.

Because DOM access would have bloated the MVP, and you _can_ access the DOM through JS.

Joystick movement personally never made me feel sick but it would sometimes nearly make me fall over. Turns out having your environment suddenly shift without moving can make your body react appropriately by trying to catch its balance.

> I have one (1) Windows PC and one (1) iDevice. Can I get these to sync? Or do I need an Android phone for that?

Yes. In Chromium-based browsers, at least. Your browser will display a QR code which you scan with your phone. Your phone will display a list of accounts you can sign in with, you select one, authenticate, and you're logged in. Firefox support isn't here yet.

TS can generate d.ts files from JS files that use JSDoc

The way it works with desktop is that the browser displays a QR code, and scan it with the camera app, which allows you to register or log in.

You could also try your password, I guess.

It can be used on both Android and iOS. Desktop machines can display a QR code which you scan with your device. Passkeys are backed up to the cloud using E2E encryption. If you get locked out of that device, you can do the same thing as when you lose your password.

Passkeys are unique per Relying Party, in this case, google.com can only access passkeys for google.com. They can't even enumerate them, all they can do is pop up a dialog and wait for the user to select one.
