such a tragic insane pity that fido2 keys can't be used on the web for this purpose.

webauthn fits a different use, of the browser managing keys for the user, outside the page & the server's view.

and webusb explicitly blacklists fido2 keys &c.

madness that our security devices only use is to identity us securely (and in a way where afaik we have no ability to clone identities, &c, by design. scant, limited powers over these devices), and not to protect our content.

Thank you ever so much for finding my grumble! I can't believe you did. Much appreciated. What a wonderful expeditious work you all are up to. This is a fantastic effort. Thanks for the initiative, all, very well done.
