Passkeys sound interesting, but I have a (perhaps incorrect) user-hostile big-tech lock-in feeling from them. I really could be wrong, but it feels like the intention is for us all to have to use accounts from Google, Microsoft, Facebook or Apple (maybe Mozilla, maybe), using browsers from Google, Microsoft or Apple (maybe Firefox), on OSes from Google, Microsoft or Apple.
- vdelitz 2y agoYes, that might be a strategic thinking of big tech. Still you can use third-party password managers like Bitwarden, KeePassXC or 1Password to take care of your passkeys. I think, for most non-technical users, they will go for the Apple/Google/Microsoft credential manager option but if you're more tech-savyy, there are ways to stay independent of big tech.
