Big Tech has implemented passkeys in a way that locks users into their platforms rather than providing universal security
Passkeys were developed to replace passwords for better account security, but their rollout by Apple and Google has limited their potential
Proton Pass offers passkeys that are universal, easy to use, and available to everyone for improved online security and privacy.

Eh... That's not exactly a silver bullet or necessarily "way better"; it's got a lot of usability issues.

You really only want to do that for your most important sites and then you want to use multiple passkeys to make sure you retain access.
