• Big Tech has implemented passkeys in a way that locks users into their platforms rather than providing universal security
  • Passkeys were developed to replace passwords for better account security, but their rollout by Apple and Google has limited their potential
  • Proton Pass offers passkeys that are universal, easy to use, and available to everyone for improved online security and privacy.

    If I can’t add your passkey to my local KeepassXC database, I am not using your passkey.

          I don’t mean to be pedantic but self hosted isn’t cloud.

            Doesn’t it require cloud activation?

            Yea, I understand, and it’s a perfectly valid choice. But does that disregard people’s preference to not bother with this at all?

              I don’t think I understand the question.

              To be clear, the alternatives are valid choices.

                That was a rhetorical question. What I wanted to say was basically “if it is only supported by Big Tech walled gardens and some open, selfhostable cloud password managers, I am not using such passkeys, because for me it is far more comfortable to have my password manager fully offline”.

        Eh, easier to just use the same password for everything.

        I use 12345, personally.

          I mean, they were responding to someone who sounded like they were acting superior for self-hosting their password manager. This person chimed in with “well you can self-host Bitwarden too”. And now you’re upset because they offered a direct counterpoint, and furthered a conversation?
