FIDO/WebauthN are generally "the good guys" when it comes to privacy bc "bring your own secure hardware key" is always an option. I'm kinda torn over the "use your cellphone as a key" approaches as not privacy friendly but we can't actually prevent them (you can always simulate a key).



> you can always simulate a key

But you can't simulate an attestation that you're using a device from one of the "approved" manufacturers in the cartel. This is basically DRM for human identity.
