That's the point of passkeys here: iCloud Keychain syncs them, and if you want to use your keys on a non-apple device you'll be able to scan a QR code, which initiates a new BLE connection so that your phone can sign the login request remotely.

- drexlspivey 4y agoWhat exactly is your point? You can just add a yubikey or any other device that uses WebAuthn to the service you want to authenticate with.

- aseipp 4y agoYes, obviously, but I was mostly referring to being able to share outside iCloud keychain, and in general 3rd party software support for this -- but, I wasn't aware of the BLE option, which is very interesting! I'm already very invested in 1Password (which I would like to integrate somehow, ideally) but that's good to know
