Passkeys - Apple Developer

Passkeys are easier to use than passwords and far more secure. Adopt passkeys to give people a simple, secure way to sign in to your apps and websites across platforms — with no passwords required.

@jeffg I'm curious if this creates a vendor lock in. Could someone migrate to another OS ?

@evert yeah it’s apples implementation of the webauthn standard

@jeffg I mean, if I use a passkey for a service set up on a Mac, how do you login next time you're not on a Mac?

@evert you use your phone, which stores the passkey secret. You can manage which phone has the passkeys, back them up etc. I believe 1Password is investing in these sorts of flows.

@jeffg ah if 1password has support thats good! Worried that people are going to be even more reluctant to switch platforms
