Comment on Launch HN: Keyri (YC S21) – Secure smartphone-based passwordless authenticationparent

Comments

> Is the key protected by passphrases?
Yes, developers can enable securing the keys with a user-set 4-digit PIN that the user must input upon key recovery. This is optional for developers

Is this rate limited by the phone for access to the secret key?

Yes, when developers enable passcode protection, the guess rate limiting is based on the OS default because it's accessing the same subsystem responsible for unlocking the phone itself.
