On this episode of The Vergecast, we figure out passkeys once and for all.

Passkeys: how do they work? No, like, seriously. It’s clear that the industry is increasingly betting on passkeys as a replacement for passwords, a way to use the internet that is both more secure and more user-friendly. But for all that upside, it’s not always clear how we, the normal human users, are supposed to use passkeys. You’re telling me it’s just a thing… that lives on my phone? What if I lose my phone? What if you steal my phone?

    this is the way

    you can even tweak folders to either send or receive only on some devices

    plus if you really want to be safe you can set file versioning and ignore deletes on a folder to make it strictly backup on more than one device

    no internet connection required, you can set it all on lan

    I think it is my favorite open-source project after Torvalds’ creations
