I wish authentication on the web worked like this:
- Every browser has one (or more) public key(s).
- The browser presents the public key to the server on request.
- A public key can be shared between browsers of the same user.
- To give your friend access to a web site, you simply ask for their public key.
I know there are passkeys and TLS client certificates, but all implementations are majorly flawed and half-assed in my opinion.
