Security vendors join forces to make passkeys more portable for everyone | Bitwarden Blog

FIDO Alliance publishes industry standards for consumers to easily and securely transfer passkeys across platforms and password managers.

Looks like a huge amount of security vendors are working to have a secure and open standard for passkey portability between platforms.

It is always good to see major collaboration in the security space like this considering the harsh opinions that users of some of these vendors have toward many of the others. I just wish apps and sites would stop making me login with username and password if passkeys are meant to replace that lol.

    I guess you’re better off buying a physical security key, which offers some guarantee that the keys cannot be exflitrated from the device.

      I have one, but I use it as a second factor because it does not have a way of identifying me

        Strange, my Yubikey allows me to authenticate using Passkeys just fine by entering the PIN that protects my stored credentials.

          I love my Yubikey but the older hardware versions can only store 25 passkeys, and I believe even the newer ones can only store 100. That seems like a lot until more sites start allowing passkey auth.

            Sure, but I don’t think it’s a huge problem since it’s honestly pretty hard to find more than 5 services that support discoverable passkeys.

        Yubikey supports pin protection, the newest one even have a fingerprint scanner.
