Security vendors join forces to make passkeys more portable for everyone | Bitwarden Blog

FIDO Alliance publishes industry standards for consumers to easily and securely transfer passkeys across platforms and password managers.

Looks like a huge amount of security vendors are working to have a secure and open standard for passkey portability between platforms.

It is always good to see major collaboration in the security space like this considering the harsh opinions that users of some of these vendors have toward many of the others. I just wish apps and sites would stop making me login with username and password if passkeys are meant to replace that lol.

    So microsoft does not require that you backup your passkeys? I thought that was the norm in all OS 😅

    I think that passkeys are backed up in cloud by default isn’t that bad for the average person, since they are likely not understanding passkeys (at least right now) and don’t get that they loose access to accounts, if they disable oldscool Passwords only use one passkey on one device for that account.

      You usually don’t lose access though. Passkeys rarely replace passwords so you could still use your password or reset it if you don’t remember it.
