alt Hacker NewsOn iOS devices you can import/export Passkeys between supporting password manager apps (including Apple Passwords).
In my experience, migrating between Apple Passwords and Bitwarden worked without issues, in both directions.

I'm not saying it's impossible, I'm saying there's a barrier that's useful to further vendor lock in. My mom is going to use Apple passwords on her iPhone. When she needs a new phone, the complexity of import/export and fear of losing access to her accounts is going to push her to buying another iPhone. It's just another avenue of lock in, like existing OS level password managers, just with an extra level of confusion for the end user.
Wasn’t part of the point of the last article that some of the various methods we call “passkeys” aren’t portable?
