1Password previously announced that mobile support for passkeys stored in 1Password was on its way later. I assume they had advanced knowledge of this announcement.
I totally understand a pessimistic reading. In trying to roll out passkeys to everyone at once, and doing a poor job of UX and documentation clarity, all the major players bungled the 2022 launch. Not having some portability out of the gate absolutely caused unnecessary distrust about passkeys.
But I strongly believe this won’t become a vendor lock-in playground.
I have replied a lot about passkeys. I should disclose a former employer works in this space, but I’m not advocating for any particular company or product here, and I no longer have any inside knowledge relevant to the topic that isn’t already public.
Edit: grammatical typo; disclosure clarification
- kps 3y agoThat's good to hear. If cross-platform sync is possible, passkeys are definitely a better option for the 95% of crud that currently lives in browsers' password managers.
- TheNewsIsHere 3y agoYou mean this is annoying? google.com (never save) google.com (Jane.Doe) google.com (Jane.Doe) (Grandma use this one) google.com (never save) google.com (Jane.Doe) (password missing) google.com (Jane.Doe) *Your password may have been exposed in an online breach. I fully agree with you. Passkeys solve a lot of usability problems, especially for the less technically adept, while solving so many password problems. Edit: formatting nightmares
