The way some websites implement FIDO2 passkey support is hilarious. Amazon.de (and probably .com as well) allows to add passkeys, but once you log in with the passkey, it still sends an SMS with an OTP and asks you to provide it... ★ 1 If you have a @Fairphone 5 running @postmarketOS and you aren't afraid of experimental patches, try: sudo mrtest add -f https://gitlab.postmarketos.org/wrenix/pmaports.git 2 Enjoy your phone calls! ★ 1 RE: https://fosstodon.org/@carlrichell/116897644687715968 I absolutely love how it looks and I have huge respect for COSMIC team for making this kind of universal transparency working.
