No, it's not. Then why try to create an open standard by force on people who DO NOT want such standard? For instance, an EU citizen who bought an iPhone knowingly and with intent of staying within the walled garden now has to deal with the EU arbitrary rules of "open" OS, when that specific consumer does not want it.
I don't need Big Pappy telling me what to do. Apple is the new Microsoft.
We already "tell every company they have to do [X] in the same way" in many areas related to safety, labor, impediments to fair competition, and harm to consumers. Sounds like you're unfamiliar with the concept of regulation. You might want to read up on that.
I'm not entirely sure what you're on about with this rant, but this sounds like classic straw man "logic" whereby you drastically mischaracterize someone else's position and knock that down because it's easier for you. Not really much point in engaging further with you. Best of luck!
I have exactly one password to remember: the one that opens my password manager.
Considering how overly complicated Sign In With Apple is for a website to adopt, its unlikely that this is going to be any better. Even websites with good backends are not going to want to adopt this.
Meh, to both of them.
Imagine not being able to login to a single account if Apple randomly decides to lock your Apple ID...people need to think twice about these things.
Well, its not. 1Password still routinely fails to properly save new logins that are created and does a mediocre job of autofilling anything. This workflow needs to be 100% or its basically useless. It's maybe 40% at best.
Apple doesn’t and can’t ban people from their own iPhones. What would happen is you can still use your iPhone to logon, but you won’t be able to use your iCloud account with new devices, it also won’t sync between devices. So you will be able to migrate your accounts, assuming websites will let you migrate to a password system if you started with passkey.
No. It's an insanely good idea. If it works as conveniently as Apple Sign In which I'm using everywhere I'm able to then I'm all in. You're welcome to waste your time micro-managing stuffs. My time is too precious for that.
Haven't read anything on that subject. However, you can easily share passkeys with those you trust.
Get outside of your bubble. Apple has locked people's entire accounts for something as simple as using a gift card wrong, and getting it unlocked is a nightmare. And I guarantee you this would not be as simple as you pretend it is in this situation.
Just stop. It doesn't work as flawlessly as you pretend, and neither does iCloud Keychain. They both suffer miserably from the same issues.
What you say is about Apple locking accounts etc. is true. However, if one has a Recovery Key etc. that should make it easier to verify identity to Apple in cases of suspected fraud on the account although even having that won't mean the doors get opened. I am not diving into this new feature for some of the concerns mentioned. I am content with Strongbox for now and will sit back and observe and wait for more information.
No I actually know how it works. Apple doesn’t lock you out of your iPhone. Never has never will. I guarantee if you get banned from iCloud you still can access your iPhone and stored keys.
