Are passkeys readily shareable?

randyjh

Enjoyed learning about Passkeys on the video. I had 2 quick questions for those "in the know."
1. I used to use a Yubikey on my computer. In principle, is this similar?
2. I do share PW with family members for low security media sites. Are Passkeys similarly shareable?

Thanks!

1. Yes & No: they both use WebAuthn, but YubiKey secrets are stored in 1 place (the physical key), while passkeys can be stored (shared) on multiple devices: https://www.yubico.com/blog/passkeys-and-the-future-of-modern-authentication/

Hello @randyjh! 👋

1Password passkeys will indeed be shareable with your family! Unlike a hardware security key like your YubiKey, passkeys will be securely saved in 1Password just like your passwords are saved in 1Password today. You can read more about our plans for passkeys here:
