Passkeys are built on the FIDO2 standard (CTAP2 + WebAuthn standards). They remove the shared secret, stop phishing at the source, and make credential-stuffing useless.

But adoption is still low, and interoperability between Apple, Google, and Microsoft isn’t seamless.

I broke down how passkeys work, their strengths, and what’s still missing

    I’ve been mostly too lazy to look into how to use passkeys. If my normal flow is using 1password for 2fa (on mobile and on the computer), is there a way I can still use that with passkeys? It says they’re supported but I’m not sure how that’d work, because aren’t they device specific?

    I just don’t want me losing access to my phone for whatever reason mean that I lose access to my accounts.
