PassKeys on @v4vapp for Hive
A few weeks ago I add the ability to use PassKeys as a way to secondarily authenticate to my Hive app v4v.app AFTER you've proved you have your Hive keys with Keychain or HAS.
The way I foresee this working (and the way I use it) is to log on to v4v.app on my Mac, log in with keychain and then ADD a PassKey to that account (which is shared across all my Apple devices). Android can do the same and indeed you can use a 3rd party password manager like 1Password or a YubiKey physical device too!
I explained all this in a DM to Steve Gibson of the Security Now podcast (the longest running and one of the best computer security news shows on the web) and he read out my note!
When he talks about me "rolling my own" authentication, he doesn't quite realise that I'm describing Hive's system of public/private keys and signing software like @keychain. He and Leo both have a bit of an aversion to crypto which is why I was deliberately a little vague on this point. I probably should have mentioned Hive though. Next time.

For the last few months while building @v4vapp I was generously supported by the DHF. Going forward I have a much more modest support which covers direct server costs and a little of my time.
If you appreciate the work I do on and around Hive, you can express this directly: upvoting posts on Hive is great. Also consider a direct donation (there's a Tip button on Hive or a Lightning Address) on all my posts.
