We had originally planned to go all-in on passkeys for ONCE/Campfire, and we built the early authentication system entirely around that. It was not a simple setup! Handling passkeys properly is surprisingly complicated on the backend, but we got it done. Unfortunately, the user experience kinda sucked, so we ended up ripping it all out...

    My thoughts exactly. I use Bitwarden and passkeys sync flawlessly between my devices. Password managers tied to a a device or ecosystem are stupid and people shouldn’t use them. This is true whether you use passwords or passkeys.

    That said, we cannot blame users for bad UX that some platforms and some devs provide.

      Isn’t your password manager tied to an ecosystem with Bitwarden ?

      I’m surprised people trust third parties to hold their passwords.

      Wasn’t there multiple password managers that got powned over the years ?

      If you can sync Passwords you are also more exposed than some unhandy secure local password storage.

        I can use bitwarden on Windows, Linux, Mac, iOS, Android, on desktop app or using CLI. That’s a stark difference in comparison with built in Microsoft or Apple keychains. And yes, I trust Bitwarden.
