Password managers like Dashlane and 1Password have announced support for storing and synching passkeys. As passkeys becomes more popular I expect more providers to step up as well.

Ecosystem lockin is not how we make a new technology like this successful. And all players in the game understand that.

Appreciate the response. And I wish this message was front and center. The Attestation feature is what worries me, when, say, the bank turns it on for a few 'blessed' providers, or mandate a hardware implementation.

Watching https://github.com/keepassxreboot/keepassxc/issues/1870 with baited breath... :)

Your concern around attestation (mis)use is spot on. I'd say the industry is yet to arrive at an acceptable consensus or compromise on that question.

1Password does not give control and ownership.[1]
