Passkeys do *not* do that. I use 1Password to manage my passkeys and they are all synced across all my authenticated devices where I installed 1Password.

You can choose either if your password manager supporte Passkeys

Of course. I was just pointing out that their claim about the lack of portability across devices was untrue.

Perhaps they should’ve said platforms. Because if you wanted to migrate those passkeys off your password manager and into a different platform like Apple Pass or Google how is that accomplished?

There's a protocol, FIDO Credential Exchange Protocol (CXP) which is currently at proposed standard status. It is supported by Apple and Google and some third party password managers (1Password, Bitwarden, and Dashlane). (1Password is kind of annoying though as its CXP export only supports exporting everything. There is no way as far as I can tell to export just a single item yet).

Once 1Password supports proper single export when I make a new passkey I'll store it there and later export it to Apple.

Meanwhile I simply make two passkeys. I've only run into I think two sites that supported passkeys but would not let me make two.

On most sites making a second passkey is as simply as going to your security settings, finding the passkey settings there, hitting the "add another passkey" link, and pointing your phone at the QR code it shows, and then on those phone choosing the password manager that you did not use for the first passkey.

How do you move your passkey from Apple's keychain into the password manager?

juanpicardo 2 days ago | parent [-]

in the ios password app you can tap on the button to export data to other app. it will show you the list of installed apps that can import them. works with passwords and passkeys.

I moved all of them from my iphone to a selfhosted bitwarden in two minutes.

Ok, good to know that.

I'm surprised selfhosted services would be allowed in that list. Isn't there the "risk" that you can then extract the raw key from your selfhosted instance?
