alt Hacker News> passkeys in Safari requires iCloud Keychain
This is not true - browsers including Safari support passkeys managed by third-party password managers.
I'm using 1Password with browser extensions for Safari and Chrome on macOS and iOS and it works seamlessly with my passkeys, which are not stored in iCloud Keychain.

I think you know what I meant and are just being pedantic here for no good reason.
Do you think I'm unaware of 1Password? I don't want to use 1Password any more than I want to use iCloud Keychain.
Technically, pendantically, Safari "supports" anything that third-party Safari extensions support. I'm a Safari extension developer myself. But this is totally different from how Safari supports the use of passwords, which is all built in, requires no third-party software, can be local-only, allows plaintext export/import, etc.

This is literally what I meant by the so-called "secure credential exchange" in my previous comment.
