Bitwarden, Dashlane, 1Password and others have joined together to make passkeys portable (bitwarden.com)

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.

If you don't want to sync your credentials with a server, why are you using a server based credential manager?

[–] independantiste@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

For 2 reasons:

I want to sync my credentials that cannot be made unique and revocable (ie passwords). I can have a single passkey per device, I cannot have a password per device for a same account. I also have to memorize a password, and I have hundreds that I may need to access while I am away and only have my phone.
I use one because currently I have not found a convenient way to save local passkeys on Android and my Linux PC.

You can save local passkeys using a local keepass file and keepassXC. No cloud needed.
