Passkeys are also a great way to have vendor lock-in.



Passkeys are a multi-vendor standard. Because Windows is no one's phone vendor today, it's generally a good idea that Windows has strong Passkey support because it can be an intermediate between the two major phone vendors and help even average users avoid vendor lock-in by pushing a majority of users to try keeping keys with at least two vendors (their phone, and their Windows device) in their common accounts.


If there was no vendor lock in, you'd only need one key, no?
