This just isn’t how passkeys work on any device. Your biometric info doesn’t leave the device you put it on. That’s why you always have to recreate it when you get a new phone or laptop.
A post claiming that an e-mail service’s “Create a passkey” offer is “biometric data harvesting” as justifying the position  that “data centers are a threat to our freedom and privacy.”

When marketing meets fashion as art
A woman leans on the railing of a metal staircase outdoors. She’s holding a chicken sandwich in this promotional photoshoot, but the real star is a puffy jacket made of clear plastic (vinyl?) and visibly filled with sliced pickles in brine. There’s a KFC logo on the chest just below a straw for drinking the brine.

Flawless editor’s note.
Wired: How do you feel about becoming a political lightning rod?
Taylor: People occasionally just flip [me] off or whatever, but nobody’s come up to me and tried to make a statement about anything. Personally, it’s kind of dumb. It’s just a vehicle. So it’s ironic that it would even become a political statement, but nonetheless it is.
[Editor’s note: Taylor was arrested and plead guilty to conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding in the January 6 attack on the Capitol. He was later pardoned by President Trump.]

The person who asks this is utterly detached from reality. You’d have to be approaching Patrick Bateman levels of narcissism to stumble into this kind of navel gazing.
