Optional Passkey and Physical Security Key Support
I'd love to see Primfeed introduce optional support for Passkeys and Physical Security Keys (FIDO2/WebAuthn) as additional account security options.
Primfeed currently offers password and TOTP authentication, which is great for adding an extra layer of protection. However, with phishing attacks, credential theft and data breaches becoming increasingly common, I think there's an opportunity to take account security a step further.
What happens if someone's password is leaked or their account credentials are compromised?
I'd love to see an optional setting that allows users to register:
Passkeys: Using Windows Hello, Apple Face ID, Touch ID or other supported devices.
Physical Security Keys: Supporting FIDO2/WebAuthn-compatible hardware such as YubiKeys.
These options wouldn't need to replace existing authentication methods. They would simply give users the choice of adding stronger, phishing-resistant protection to their accounts.
I personally use both passkeys and physical security keys across my accounts, and having the same options available on Primfeed would give me considerably more peace of mind.
Account security is important, and giving users access to modern authentication standards would be a fantastic step forward for Primfeed and its community.
