I big part missing from this conversation is what happens when you lose a device, want to leave an auth platform, or are deplatformed.
I don't want my credentials to be locked into any vendor, be it Apple, Google, or Proton. I currently use email + passwords + yubikeys. My credentials aren't dependent on some passkey auth server working correctly, or device that I don't control or have copies of. If Google or Apple wanted to ban me without recourse, in theory it wouldn't affect my ability to use other services. This doesn't appear to be the case with passkeys.
- temp0826 3y agoI really like that I can use 1Password for this. My biggest gripe is that it doesn't quite work yet in my main use case (Kagi's Orion on iOS. Ideally it would use Apple's API, not the 1Password browser extension, to use the OS setting that is set to use passkeys from 1Password rather than the iCloud keychain. I'm not precisely sure where the process is broken; but it doesn't work that way nor with the browser extension.)
- taeric 3y agoThis pretty much has to be solved using a legal framework? Specifically because the questions get even harder when you ask the tough ones. What happens when you die and your estate needs to be closed out? If you don't have a process in place for that, then you are ultimately assuming any digitally controlled assets can be destroyed by lack of access. And if you have assumed that, then you are also presuming some time frame on access?
- protonpass 3y agoThanks for the feedback! You can currently export and reimport passkeys in Proton Pass (for backups) and as soon as an industry standard is finalized, we'll support that format too.
