I noticed an option in the experimental features of safari. Passkeys should be a more secure way to access something than regular Passwords. What do the „Passkeys Site-Specifc Hacks“ do when activated? Are my Passkey going to be hacked?
iPhone 14, iOS 16
Security issues? Security compromises? No.
That’s a Safari experimental features setting used for adding or removing prototype or potentially problematic features for specific websites from within the browser, and the word hack in that context means a kludge or ugliness or an expedient mechanism, and not an issue with security. Experimental features allow a way for browser developers and for specific websites to enable or disable specific newer (incoming) or older (outgoing) features of Safari. In this case, related to Passkey support.
