Nowadays I use the passkeys with my password manager and everything works across multiple devices. I’ve never been presented with a list of passkeys to select from.

I’ll second this. A combo of KeePassXC (desktop), KeePassium (Apple), and KeePass2Android plus manually synching my .kbdx file makes the passkey experience relatively smooth for me.

  So you need three different applications and manually moving around files to achieve a "relatively smooth" experience? I don't think this is the endorsement you think it is.

    KeePass is a community project, Bitwarden is not. These are just client applications that sync and interact with the .kbdx file the community has formalized a standard on. That's why Bitwarden has a unified client application ecosystem and KeePass does not. You don't understand KeePass, which is fine, but please don't make bad assumptions like these if you don't understand the underlying reasons for why a thing is the way it is. It's like calling out why there are two dozen email clients that speak IMAP.

      Uh I know what KeePass is and how it works. The proposed "smooth" solution is - at best - clunky and inconvenient. You've missed the forest for the trees. > You don't understand KeePass, which is fine Haha this is so hilariously smug and condescending I have to wonder: are you the real-life Comic Book Guy?

        I should’ve clarified: I consider it relatively smooth for a technical user.

        Yes this is being pushed on everyone, including grandma's and the tech illiterate. If the "best" solution is clunky at best, what chance to the tech luddites have?

        the best solution for the technical user isn't the best solution for the non technical user. the streamlined solution for the non technical person is that they just have their phone and it has the passkey.

        > the streamlined solution for the non technical person is that they just have their phone and it has the passkey So no one uses desktop or laptop computers anymore? Who made that decision for everyone, I wasn't consulted.

        If you want to talk about the laptop and desktop use case, we can talk about those, but non technical people don't have laptops or desktops anymore, they got thrown out sometime after the iPhone and ipad came out, circa 2010. (sorry you didn't get invited to the conference. It was nice, Sarah brought her granddaughter and we had chips and guacamole, it was all very nice)

        I disagree, it's an extremely myopic understanding of the world likely perpetuated by a sheltered Silicon Valley cabal. There are millions of non-technical people with jobs, where they are issued a company computer. It's conceivable they might want to access the World Wide Web on it. Assuming they own no other devices other than a mobile phone as you suggest, they still have at least two and probably don't want to sync anything from their personal phone to a company computer. P.S. your comment was funnier before you added the part about the gucamole

    Tiredness caused my poor explanation and you’re absolutely correct. I didn’t explain fully. I guess I have a 2/3 solution.

  Same for me, but syncthing works to sync across the platforms for me, and has been pretty solid.
