this entire comment section is so full of BS! People ranting about stuff they don't understand and coming up with random conspiracy theories that have no basis in reality PassKeys are NOT proprietary. They're a standard. You can implement it yourself if you want or use several other implementations not run by FAMG. Here's a video on how it works [VIDEO] * Can I share the keys between chrome, firefox, and safari? You don't need to. That's not how it works. Chrome, Firefox, and Safari and every device will have a different key for the same service (see video) * How do I share keys between different types of devices?

After you authenticate you can then create a new passkey for this device/software you're using. This new passkey is separate from the previous passkey. You effectively have 2 passkeys now, one to login with one device/software, one to with a different device/software. (See video) * What happens if my devices are gone? You follow whatever r

Part of the design is that every site will support multiple passkeys tied to an individual account. So it will be normal to use one browser to bootstrap registering another browser with a new passkey into your account. This video[1] by the FIDO alliance shows what that process will look like with a bunch of different OS and browser combos. [1]: [VIDEO]
