When passkeys first came out I was quite excited. Now trying to use them with KeepassXC/Keepassium the experience is terrible.
First off, nearly two full years into this “standard” existing only around 1/5 to 1/4 of my accounts support it. And the support is a crap shoot. I am finding some accounts only allowing you to have a single passkey and others such as Amazon expect a certain format making Keepass unusable. I save the key but I guess the response is wrong as Amazon thinks it failed.
ssh keys are great. Amazing. Having those instead of passwords would be a huge upgrade. Most people need a simple key management ui and portable keys then they would be set. But it’s like Password managers and sites that don’t allow copy and paste all over again.
- sandgiant 2y agoWorks perfectly in 1Password. One-click sign-in is awesome! I don't understand the hate towards passkeys. Managing passwords for non-techies is infinitely worse in my experience.
- kemotep 2y agoI’m not disputing that passwords suck. It’s just that the experience with passkeys hasn’t matched the vision I’ve been sold when I first read about it. I am sure a more mainstream solution such as Google/Apple/Microsoft/1Password’s password manager would be a better experience. But the portability and data sovereignty of using a self hosted open source password manager such as Keepass is a requirement I have and like I mentioned, the supermajority of my online accounts have zero passkey support even 2 years in.
