I already hit a button (the Bitwarden icon in my browser toolbar) so I do not see what passkeys buy me, except a terrible hassle the day I want to change password manager.
It is a solution designed to lock people in the Apple/Google walled gardens, and I don't see why everybody is pushing for it.

Passkeys work fine with password managers like 1Password, KeePassXC, Bitwarden and others, why do you keep repeating this walled garden shtick?
They're literally a cryptostring stored in your password manager just like your other passwords.

So I can copy paste them somewhere or move them around without "Credential Exchange Protocol (CXP) and Credential Exchange Format (CXF)"?

With Keepass you can, at least. Other ones not so much.

You can copy paste them using those formats. What are you arguing about here actually?

How does one get a passkey from iCloud into one of these formats?
"You can't take your passkeys from Apple Passwords"
s/iCloud/1Password?
"There's not a way to import/export passkeys"
s/iCloud/Google?
So "you can copy paste them using those formats, if you can get them into those formats in the first place".
It’s probably different for everyone but in case I have strictly separate devices- so a laptop where I have my work accounts and a desktop for games and some personal stuff.
I don’t really use anything on a regular basis that needs accounts on my personal devices, but that’s probably very weird nowadays…
