Passkeys are okay, but your browser and OS want you to use them because you can’t just take a passkey to another platform, you have to create a new one, and it’s a o p aim in the ass.

It’s a lock-in gimmick latching on to a real useful solution.

Password managers can hold Passkeys now and they’re portable. Bitwarden stores all of mine, use them on any machine.

While true, it still means you're locked into only being able to log in from a browser that has the password manager extension installed and logged in. Sometimes I want to log in from another machine, or another OS, or another browser, or even an incognito window that doesn't have access to my extensions.

That’s an implementation issue, not an inherent problem with passkeys.
