My best guess is that Apple won't do it because their plan is to phase out passwords entirely. That's what that whole FIDO Alliance (https://fidoalliance.org https://fidoalliance.org) is all about.
And 1Password is part of that too: https://blog.1password.com/1password-is-joining-the-fido-alliance/ https://blog.1password.com/1password-is-joining-the-fido-all...
I think that ultimately a password tool needs to be available on multiple platforms, like 1Password. Having it just be on Apple stuff just isn't gonna work for the many Windows and Linux machines I begrudgingly have to interact with.
- ttul 4y ago1Password knows that it will take centuries for passwords to disappear even if a password-less future is already here.
- Hamuko 4y agoPasswordless future definitely wasn't here just 1-2 years ago. The management of WebAuthn Discoverable Credentials / Resident Keys was so fucking awful on every platform I tested them on. You want to clear your Resident Key for a website on Windows? Command-line.
- judge2020 4y ago1Password has embraced it: https://blog.1password.com/passkeys-are-coming-to-1password/ https://blog.1password.com/passkeys-are-coming-to-1password/ While I'm not sure how they've integrated it so far, I imagine browsers will either implement a plugin API for extensions to handle passkeys, or 1p can override the webauthn api and fallback to the browser when a website is authenticating.
