  • That’s basically any modern network. There is no more trivial “inside our network” vs. “outside on the internet”. Networks are segmented on a need-to-know principle. You can access some information from the public internet. Some other things can be accessed from the internet, but only on corporate devices, if your user AND device is whitelisted. And then you have one or more VPNs on top of that for more sensitive stuff. Also those VPNs may be “dynamic” in the sense that it may also be dependent on the user, device and authentication method what is currently accessible over that VPN connection.



  • I get the idea, and in general I love it - especially since they eliminate phishing in theory. BUT making my device my “password” now shifts the single point of failure from me forgetting my password to me protecting my devices from any kind of error/damage/data loss/… Collecting all passkeys in your Google Account is probably also not the best idea, considering how little chance you have to get your account back if it ever gets locked by a random event you may or may not have participated in.

    Having them device independent (e.g. in a password safe) is nice, though. But then, if I use my password safe right, I should already be somewhat protected from phishing, as my auto fill won’t trigger on a random phishing site.


  • Mine didn’t want to migrate and I had to build them a new PC with Win11 (their old one was barely able to run win 10 and had already some hardware problems, so a new one was on my bucket list for a while) - but… yeah the most time was spent tracking down all these passwords and accounts they were constantly using without knowing which email address and which password was used for the account…
