- signal11 3y agoYou can use passkeys cross platform already, eg with 1Password or even KeePass XC. But I do agree with the point that Passkeys make it really easy to get locked in unless you’re careful.
- Wowfunhappy 3y ago> You can use passkeys cross platform already, eg with 1Password or even KeePass XC. But then I have the analogous problem of never being able to switch password managers!
- nxicvyvy 3y agoBitwarden exports passkeys along with everything else.

- epistasis 3y agoCan anything else import a passkey? It makes me nervous to have export, Id rather just have multiple platforms.
- nxicvyvy 3y agoAnother bitwarden server? You can self host. The idea isn't to move your keys around willy nilly the idea is that should you need to, you're not beholden to bitwarden inc.
- vbezhenar 3y agoNo, you can't. You need to login into every website and replace passkey with new one in website-specific way.
- snowwrestler 3y agoNo, you add a new passkey from Android and then remove the passkey from iPhone. 1. Login with the passkey from your iPhone. 2. In your account, add a new passkey from your new Android. Now both passkeys are active. 3. Login with your new Android passkey. 4. In your account, deactivate the passkey that is stored on your iPhone. Passkeys aren’t passwords. You can have more than one active at the same time. So instead of moving a single passkey around, you add or remove them to change devices or service providers.
- hedora 3y agoI have 400 accounts in my password manager. There’s no way I’m doing that for each of them (or figuring out which ones support passkeys).
- akie 3y agoThen don’t change phone OS, or put your passkeys in a third party password manager.
- apple4ever 3y agoOr... use passwords and 2FA which we have been using forever and for years respectively.
- lupire 3y agoWhy is that better? It's the same thing as a passkey managwer, but twice the work.
