Will it be up to Apple to export passkeys

Like many, I initially used iCloud Keychain to setup my passkeys, but now I have moved away from Keychain completely for storing passwords. So I no longer use iCloud Keychain for autofill, but iCloud Keychain still retains my passkeys. This seems like a major trade off to passkeys. A password is a piece of data that can be moved anywhere, even to my brain. 🧠 But just to be sure, it’s up to Apple whether or not I can transfer my passkeys to another service?

    Hi @timl23,

    At this point in time, you cannot import or export passkeys from any managers like iCloud Keychain or 1Password. The good news is that we’re working closely with platform vendors and other password managers through the FIDO Alliance to create a secure way to import and export passkeys. We believe it’s your choice where to store and use your passkeys. Hopefully we’ll have more to share soon. Within 1Password, you can use item sharing to move a passkey to a new 1Password account.

    You can also create a new passkey for a website any time within 1Password and remove any existing passkeys from other providers :)
