I agree. So far I think KeePassXC is the only one that allows you to export your Passkeys. I believe Bitwarden are working on it as well. That said, it's unclear whether this will provide any portability of passkeys between providers.

Once you export your passkeys, is there anything that can import them?

  I assume each provider will have the ability to import as well as export. The question is whether you can do that across providers. That's not too different from the status quo for passwords and other fields though.

    Yep, I agree with that response completely. That whole thread is a great read about the reality of the passkey situation, and what it will take to really make it great.

      The entire passkey situation is pretty telling that the spec was created with just vague promises that export would be handled at a later date.

    Thank you for posting this comment. I'm saddened but not surprised that attestation is being seriously talked about as a way to get independent password managers in line but not large corporations, and completely agree with Dan there.

untrue, 1Password stores the private key just like any other key material, and one can export it or get the private key from the bamboo menu "passkey": { "type": "webauthn", "createdAt": 1696352105, "privateKey": "eyJrdHkiOiJ...", "userHandle": "cafebabeDeadBeef..." },

  Where did you see that? This comment just 4 months ago from 1Password says that exporting isn't possible: https://www.reddit.com/r/1Password/comments/18m4iph/comment/ke382vb/ https://www.reddit.com/r/1Password/comments/18m4iph/comment/... And I haven't seen any announcements in the opposite direction. ———— Edit: so I just checked and I can confirm that it's not possible to export passkeys from 1Password. Neither of the two available export options include passkeys. > • 1PUX A 1Password Unencrypted Export (1pux) file will export all your data, except your passkeys. You'll need to create new passkeys with your next password manager > • CSV (Export only certain fields) A comma-separated values file (.csv) will export only certain fields. It won't export data such as custom fields or file attachments.

    Well then their enshitification just continues with their unending quest for burning every user-centric bridge they ever built. Goddamn To answer your question, "bamboo menu, Copy Item JSON" which I believe is turned on due to my "Preferences, Advanced, Show debugging tools" being checked. I actually did try the $(op item get --format=json $its_uuid) first but figured there was some sekrit env var or --fields some_horseshit that I needed to dig up and it was more energy than I wanted to spend for a HN comment So, OT1H, what I send was half true - they are available for export but only after some hoop jumping and seemingly not in the official export packaging, which I suppose almost guarantees they will not "round trip" back into a Vault in any kind of disaster recovery scenario It seems those 1Password jokers just get great thrills out of ensuring that anytime I have something to praise them for they ensure they have some user hostile stupidity ready and waiting to drive people away
