Comically you can sign Tailnet lock from iOS, but it’s an insane workflow.

You need to generate a QR code then scan it from the signing mobile device, which opens a secret menu option to sign (fine just brings up a confirmation dialog).

Incredibly annoying but perhaps more secure vs the threat of randomly tapping at prompts

Interesting, thanks for pointing out the insane workflow.

Although looking around, footguns still remain in terms of relying too much on iOS and Tailnet Lock, e.g. https://github.com/tailscale/tailscale/issues/20475
