"Hopeful for the future" is the problem with Passkeys. Its a remarkably fragmented protocol. Apple, Google, Microsoft, all with their own systems fighting to lock us in. There's a reason I don't use apple keychain, but it's beginning to look like I won't have a choice if they switch entirely to passkeys, but yeah, hopeful for the future.
I can't even figure out who controls my passkeys. I certainly don't know what happens if everything breaks, if a token device is stolen, if the other end loses their half of the key etc.
The industry as a whole is bungling this to be honest. It promises to be simple but couldn't be further from that promise. It's a confusing mess right now I'm afraid. As far as I can tell I cant even secure 1Password itself with a passkey, unless its a "test account", whatever that means!. Just confusing.
