Thank you for the update. Appreciate you supporting the channel by commenting and giving the video a thumbs up. What are your thoughts on storing passkeys in the vault and on devices versus using hardware, security keys keys?
@@CyberMedics As a non-technical user, I perceive passkeys on multiple devices as enhanced multi-factor authentication (MFA) applications, offering superior security. These passkeys ensure continuous control over your account, effectively mitigating many serious threats posed by modern devices. Whenever passkeys are available and the account is sensitive, I have the option to use either a hardware key or just the passkey for that specific account.
That is an accurate summary of passkeys to enhance security. Keep in mind that devices are more vulnerable than hardware keys from zero day flaws. Also devices are susceptible to being damaged. Hardware keys and pass keys stored on a device definitely do enhance multifactor authentication. ultimately the decision to store them on a device or only use the hardware key is a personal one. It is a matter of convenience vs potential threat vector exploit.
Appreciate the positive feedback. Thank you for supporting the channel by commenting and giving the video a thumbs up. What has been your experience with passkeys?
@@CyberMedics The login process has exhibited a high degree of stability. More so, the portability of passkeys, enhanced by Bitwarden, presents considerable benefits. This advancement allows users to transcend the limitations of relying exclusively on their mobile devices, enabling them to utilize multiple platforms for the management of their passkey hardware.
That is a nice synopsis of the evolution of the passkeys. Do you feel the portability of the passkeys to different devices add an additional threat vector as opposed to the HW security keys functioning as passkeys?
@@CyberMedics Tough question. The appropriateness of the access method largely depends on the specific context of the environment in which one is operating. The primary objective should be to ensure seamless access to one's accounts from any location, while also maintaining a robust security posture. There's always a balancing of approaches necessary to accommodate both convenience and the heightened security measures implemented on a single device.
So true….. trying to balance the security with the ability to access your information. I always try to advise people on what the possibilities are, but ultimately it’s a personal decision on how you want to implement your own security posture. Thank you for your insightful and informed comments and welcome to the channel. Please consider providing comments on other videos we produced.
bitwarden added option to remove a passkey with red in circle minus button next to it

Question if setting this up on an older windows desktop do i need some way to take biometric information in? ie a fingerprint reader?
Passkeys do not require the use of biometric information.
THANK YOU VERY INFORMATIVE
