Comment on Ask HN: How do you currently solve authentication?parent

Novel and I like the mental model. It seems like this pushes more of the management to the user - to manage the key. Or providing the user nice consumer tools to manage the key - adjacent to your core product. The hard part here is probably getting consumers to use/download/install that tool.

I agree. I think there are ways to mitigate this, though. If the extension is open source, and very small then at least the digerati would be more open to it, and then it might become a standard extension, like ublock origin.
