You know, this is exactly what I want webauthn and all that newer authentication stuff to do.

I'll say though it isn't just client side UI but webapps just don't support the idea of a user registering and loggingg in with a client cert that well.

But it is truly a shame because it is an unphishable method of authentication already on every device and doesn't cost hardware-money like a yubikey. It just isn't sexy enough for developers to care about it.



Looks like you got downvoted because you offended someone ;)
