alt Hacker NewsA password manager let's me use my service specific credential from any device, securely and decentralized.
Passkeys lock into a specific device and seem easy until you need to use another device.
But instead of being a credential you own and control, across what could even be a local password manager, it's one password to everything. Maybe it is more secure than a regular password in some cases but it largely seems like a worse fix than existing tools for a problem that has better solutions.

I put my passkeys in my password manager and it works fine.
1password and KeypassXC both support passkey syncing across devices and operating systems.
I keep all my passkeys in 1 password. So magical
it's one password to everything
Passkeys are never reused. Even for the same person, they are always unique across websites, and across devices.
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.
