I still want to see more details. That being said, extremely positive news. Vendor lock-in is one of the biggest issues with passkeys and one of the biggest reasons I haven't been able to get on board with them and why I usually end up advocating against them whenever they come up.
Between this and Apple blocking attestation efforts for mobile passkeys, it gives me more confidence that this could turn into a standard that I want to use. I criticize the passkey standard pretty consistently, I would be very happy to eat crow on that.
I will say that it would go a long way to make this stuff part of the standard, I don't like how much these really critical pieces of passkey functionality are boiling down to "wait and see what vendors do." But I'm cautiously optimistic to see where things go. It is a really big deal for Apple to support 3rd-party providers and an even bigger deal for Apple to support sync with 3rd-party providers.
