But passkeys so often call for your Windows login (for those on Windows); doesn't that only give more power to Microsoft?
You can store passkeys in (and use them from) a password manager instead of the OSโs secret vault. I think most major password managers support this now - Bitwarden definitely does.
Absolutely. But passkeys themselves are an open standard, so the implementation is different depending on device, browser etc. I dont use Windows, I dont know how it works there. I dont even use passkeys a lot in general, mostly due to it not being used on that many sites. I still think the technology pretty interesting and will be more relevant in a few years.
I think "identities" used on Gemini (at least the way they are implemented in Lagrange browser) are the best implementation of a similar idea, but, you know, it's only supported in Gemini.
