This Passkey idea sounds good in theory, but I have some serious concerns with what is described in this post.

I understand the mentality, but it almost assuredly has weaknesses and sociological issues besides.

Even IF it's storing it in the TPM/cryptoprocessor, the architecture has had weaknesses and flaws in the past and it's often not the simplest operation to fix. Can't wait to hear the inevitable "$ransomwaregang implements cryptographic key stealer in toolkit"

Yep. Oh, and we need to have a Bluetooth proximity check from new device to phone. Guess I can't create a key on my desktop pc then?

@voltronic

Ya my desktop's off limits for that one...
Hell, even most of my Laptop collection lacks bluetooth. Neat!
