    The title is misleading. In nowhere the article say the Settings app will be removed, but an AI that will tweak system settimg based on usage patterns.

    I guess it like: I have my brightness set at zero at 22:00, but sometimes I’m still using my phone and it dim suddenly which is a bit frustrating. This AI will learn that not to turn down the brightness when I’m using it, and wait until some other events happened then trigger the dimming. (Auto brightness doesn’t goes all the way down that Tasker can do.)

    That’s not how Passkey, and the underlying WebAuthn works.

    (Highly simplifies but still a bit technical) During registration, your key and the service provider website interacts. Your key generated a private key locally that don’t get sent out, and it is the password you hold. The service provider instead get a puclic key which can be used to verifiy you hold the private key. When you login in, instead of sending the private key like passwords, the website sent something to your key, which needs to be signed with the private key, and they can verify the signature with the public key.

    The CXP allows you export the private key from a keystore to another securely. Service providers (Netflix) can’t do anything to stop that as it doesn’t hold anything meaningful, let alone a key (what key?), to stop the exchange.
