I briefly looked into passkeys a while ago, but I think I remember really disliking them because they just seemed like another excuse for companies to lock you in.
Has this changed? With Bitwarden + passwords, I can change to any platform, any device, at any time, and instantly get all my creds moved over securely.
I don’t want to be in a situation where I’m locked into using Android, Chrome, iOS, or whatever because I can’t move my creds.
Yeah I don’t think it’s the only password manager that allows PassKeys either. Plus, they’re more secure by design; the website never has to store anything that can be reversed to allow access. Bitwarden even lets you store multiple passkeys per site.
I do hate how it’s promoted as “locked to your device” though but i imagine that’s because (unfortunately) password managers aren’t used by a majority of users.

Bitwarden has passkey support! Syncs too!

Hm, ok. Maybe it’s time to take another look.
It’s not. There is almost zero security improvement between a passkey vs a randomly generated password + 2FA.
The only concern is if you’re dumb enough to give away your password, or not activate 2FA on critical accounts.
Except for passkey login on Android app. For example Playstation app login with passkey won’t work.
