Scandinavian Airlines (SAS) has launched Passkeys support, and they have chosen to call it "Hovednøkkel" in Norwegian. Directly translated to english = "Mainkey".

1) you don't have to remember a password. With "mainkeys" you can use stuff like fingerprint or face to login.

I've done something I thought I would never do.

I've used Anthropic Claude to "vibe" code a Chrome plugin to test if a website is protected with DNSSEC & RPKI for BGP.

Warning: it seems to work. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!
Feedback wanted. 😬

Well well well Google Chrome, is this how you have decided to treat @kalilinux.bsky.social all of a sudden, or do they have issues on their side, or is it just .... me?

I've always tried to do something new & funny for each iteration of #PasswordsCon.

So here is the "PasswordsCon Song" sing-a-long. Generated with ChatGPT (lyrics) and sound by Suno.

#PasswordsCon will be in Prague, December 1-3, kindly sponsored by @nic.cz. More info: passwordscon.org

Tesla sales in all of Europe dropped by 52.6% in April, according to ACEA - European Automobile Manufacturers' Association.

One can only wonder why.

Jeg er superhappy for å kunne annonsere at det blir meetup i lokalene til Advokatfirmaet CLP på Sommerrogata 13-15, 28 mai fra 16:30.

Lyst til å delta og evt holde en lyntale? Kontakt meg ASAP. Lyntaler er morsomme, interessante og gjerne nyttige også.

Giant company. ISO27001 certified.
Not impressed.

Psst Radware, your AS48851 lacks RPKI for BGP. Highly recommended to keep up marketing promises made.

So Microsoft makes everything so much easier with passkeys when you get these options:
"Passkey in Microsoft Authenticator" or
"Security key or Passkey"?

And none of the options seem to work with 1Password?

Thx for the screenshot @maximiliangolla.com!

Spending a minute or two thinking about the consequences of this in the US & the world makes me....

May I suggest getting rid of password recommendations that expired with NIST SP800-63B in June 2017 @timcappalli.me? ;)

I do hope & presume you support WebAuthn / Passkeys as well. 😁

(and have a great weekend!)

I am fascinated how #Midjourney with no notification deletes (censor) images I've created, long after I made & stored them.

What is so incredibly wrong with "spitting image cartoon caricature" pictures? Have they never seen british tv or newspapers?

What would we like to see at Bsky instead of this @timcappalli.me? ;)
