Passkeys are just a standard protocol, i.e. there'd just be a single "Use Passkey" button.

- megous 3y agoThere's no "passkeys" protocol. If there is, it's well hidden behind marketing bullshit. :) > In marketing material, the terms passkey or Passkeys are preferred over related terms such as FIDO or WebAuthn, because they are less likely to cause confusion. Yeah. Nowhere does it say what it actually is or how it's related to the other standards. Not confusing at all.
- benatkin 3y agoYeah it seems sort of like web notifications and I find it quite centralized, favoring the browser vendor. So I'll have to see what it's like in practice. But I hope it doesn't take off.
- Aaron2222 3y agoHow so? Apple's already announced support for 3rd party passkey stores to integrate into the OS (to allow passkey authentication in apps), and the 1Password extension supports passkeys across the major browsers (though support's in beta).
