1) Trusted Platform Module
I use Ubuntu Linux setup by @tuxedocomputers. They have disabled Secure Boot in WEBFAI by deafult. I do not know why. Apparently this also means it did not install the required files for TPM. I also wonder if this would work at all given with the Web Authentication API as I use LibreWolf.
TPM is not a solution now.
2) Security Keys?
I don't own a security key. I'm not sure I want one. Hardware can/will fail so I need at least 2. Not an option now.
Passkeys?

Sounds doable. Oh snag! The interface does not allow me to pick a passkey like the Help sections show.
Apparently Passkeys are not supported anymore!?
I have quit a high-tolerance for bureaucracy, opaque rules & stupid systems, but I'm not going to waste anymore time on this for now. I just wanted to discuss a possible bug 😩
Please @EC_OSPO @EC_DIGIT or whoever, fix this horrible system & enable participation by the wider opensource community.

I'm sharing this story, because I want OpenSource in EU & at the EC to succeed.
Not to shame people, but to give them the info they need to nudge their peers/superiors into changing the current failing system.
Thanks in advance!
