There’s an awesome new tool in the journey to replace passwords: Automatic passkey upgrades.

For a short window after a user signs in using Password AutoFill, apps and websites can “conditionally” request passkey creation for that same account. The Passwords app then creates a new passkey and notifies the user. No upsells or speed bumps.

All credential managers can support this! (There’s lots of new API for credential managers this year!)

This assumes that the portability issues have been resolved? 🫤🤷‍♂️

@rmondello Oooh conditional mediation for credential creation? Now that's pretty neat.
@rmondello I really do not want passkeys, and absolutely not to replace passwords.
@rmondello Only for Keychain or also for third-party apps like @1password?
@rmondello I fear I'm not good enough to understand : does it changes the state of things explained here https://fy.blackhats.net.au/blog/2024-04-26-passkeys-a-shattered-dream/ ?
