I'm browsing for a mastodon server that doesn't federate with threads, it was a bad idea at the beginning, it's an even worse idea now.
Its 7 steps to do, the time it took for server admins to let me know they're thinking about it, it could have been done.
Any server recommendations are appreciated 💌

A version is added so that i can always invalidate all jwe & jwt per user.

What I’m trying to say is that unlike passwords, if the website is compromised and then later fixed, there’s no need to ask people to reset their passkey.

2024-12-29 13:27:05 UTC

- reply

(account lockout, vendor lock-in) those are more recovery flows that aren’t necessarily part of authentication.
Backups are tbd
Public key crypto helps against backend code infections stealing passwords, bcrypt only secures data at rest, but traditional login forms send plain text passwords (via tls) to the backend, it has access to your password.

2024-12-29 12:43:32 UTC

- reply

yes _if_ you’re using a password manager which, after 10years of advising people to use one, no one uses.
Most people use one password for everything and google authenticator for 2fa and copy the code by memory.
Passkeys are linked to the login domain _forcing_ the using of proper login procedure.

2024-12-29 12:23:29 UTC

- reply

It terms of phone loss, it is assumed that you’re using a passcode &or biometric. And that you’d be able to deactivate the phone remotely.
Most phishing attempts make use of fake looking websites, using lookalike domains, #passkeys & #webauthn secure against this unlike password+TOTP

I like to use golang for backend because it has strict typing (Typescript is great but your still running JavaScript) and its lightning fast compile times.
For injesting data into a database or running mission critical calculations go beats js.
As long as you use something that takes care of the boilerplate (Gin, sabre/lo) go can be very easy to pickup.
