Yeah what the hell is up with that one? Seems so sketchy

Passkeys are okay, but your browser and OS want you to use them because you can’t just take a passkey to another platform, you have to create a new one, and it’s a pain in the ass.

It’s a lock-in gimmick latching on to a real useful solution.

Password managers can hold Passkeys now and they’re portable. Bitwarden stores all of mine, use them on any machine.

Yeh, I have passkeys in bitwarden.
I get it. Once they become ubiquitous, you click "login" your password manager prompts you to select account, and you are in.
No password that can be leaked, incorrectly stored, brute forced.
Corporations can pre-register company service passkeys for new users.
It's like mTLS, except staged.
