Until there is a viable way to sync passkeys between all devices, all platforms, and all browsers, I will be happily sticking to my passwords. The security benefits provided by passkeys are not enough to offset the ecosystem lock-in that passkeys cause.
What ecosystem lock-in are you talking about, exactly? I just created a passkey for Chrome on my macOS desktop and another on iOS. The Chrome passkey will sync to Chrome for Windows, my iOS passkey will sync to my other Apple devices, and I can create more as needed.
For every platform/ecosystem you are using (Chrome, Apple iCloud), you had to create a new passkey. For people using multiple different devices and platforms, this is a headache. I want to sign up once and be done with it.
Definitely! My understanding is that this is where passkey/password managers enter the picture.
My preferred password manager is 1Password, so once it gets passkey support I imagine I'll use that for everything. Until then, I'm depending on the limited sync functionality in iOS/macOS and Chrome.
Agreed. If mobile operating systems allow password managers to support Passkeys, and password managers implement the functionality, then I will absolutely switch.
