Big Tech passkey implementations are a trap

Proton Pass now supports passkeys for everyone across all devices, and the article argues that Big Tech passkey rollouts have undermined the technology's goal of universal security. It says Apple, the first major company to roll out passkeys in 2022, optimized them to work mainly within its own products, and that Google, which announced passkey support in 2023, has similarly limited them, including by preventing users from exporting passkeys. The article contends that closed implementations like these make universal adoption less likely, and it presents Proton Pass's free, open-source, cross-platform passkeys as an alternative.
