Office 365 requires an account to validate the license. Potentially it might work differently for the long term licensed versions (which features released to O365 now wouldn’t reach until the next LTSC release), but I’ve not performed the initial install and licensing of those for clients yet

Or for home users who aren’t already invested in a Microsoft ecosystem your best bet is to just use Libre Office

Edit: I accidentally made Office exclusive to leap years!

Okay so if the sites actually give you the passkey to manage that’s not as bad as what I remember reading about when passkeys were first announced

My gut feeling is just that discourse shifted rapidly regarding left leaning gun owners over the last year or so, and I can’t help but suspect it’s not partially driven by the gun industry trying to get more people interested in buying guns.

But yeah I’ve known about several left-leaning organizations directly supporting gun ownership for quite a while now

I’m just jaded and struggle to not assume that everything online telling people to buy something isn’t a marketing campaign of some sort

I’m not convinced the sudden surge in posts from otherwise left-leaning people encourage gun ownership aren’t at least partially perpetuated by an astroturfing campaign on behalf of gun manufacturers

Passkeys rely heavily on at least one device remaining authenticated. You have to remember, the average user of a given web service does not have an ISP, they literally only have their phone and maaaaybe a decade old laptop that they haven’t turned on or charged since ordering plane tickets pre-pandemic. It is critical that any solution replacing passwords has to work for this average user who literally only has their current phone and trades in their phone every 1-4 years for another one, therefore they do not have a second authenticated device to verify when they get a new phone or their phone breaks and they buy a new one at the carrier store.

I’m happy to be proven wrong, but from my understanding of how passkeys are implemented, they will either lead to account lockout or rely on less secure authentication methods if the only authenticated device becomes inaccessible/inoperable

The real problem is there’s not really a better solution that works well for private accounts owned by individuals who only have a single device.

They say that authentication is using either something you know, something you have or something you are, but in the real world it ends up being something you’ve forgotten, something you’ve lost and something that you were at one time but are no longer

Realistically if the company fails due to their terrible cyber security practices there’s a high chance their properties will just be sold to an even larger property management firm
