@Techmeme Weird that there is no mention of the fact that passkey portability is an active working group at the FIDO alliance. This mostly reads as "I disagreed with a Google or Apple decision so now passkeys are doomed" 😬

The tech giants behind the passkeys effort are about as dedicated to actually enabling the porting of passkeys between different identity providers as the Gotham police department is to finding the real identity of Batman and arresting him.
