I’ve become the tech guy, and family are extremely entitled to my services. My mom especially. BTW I can’t cut her out, because I still live with her and she EXPECTS me to fix anything computer related. She won’t take no for an answer.

I’ve tried to keep track of her passwords with a password manager, I’ve spent literally 8 hours in a single day filling out captchas and replacing passwords, and I’ve spent even more time trying to teach my mom how to use the manager.

She CAN’T learn it, and always makes a new password, which she doesnt keep track of and expects me to fix it. What the hell do it do? She uses firefox, with auto refill on, but it doesn’t autofill on her iphone.

    Because webauthn does not give anything that a proper password manager couldn’t automate anyway

      Huh? It wouldn’t require a username/password at all (at least in the HTML form sense) so there’s a much lesser chance of chaos happening.

      Have you used it before?

        and what will store the authentication information, safely, if not a password manager? and don’t say that everyone will have a hardware security token
