The problem is this:

> 1Password for iOS exports ... directly to other supported apps, including your passkeys.

They pick the list of other supported apps. There is no ability to export to a standard encrypted file, nor is there a way to develop an open source app that can receive an export over the objections of 1Password Inc.

Exactly. So much for TFA's "or whatever other software of your choosing" claim.

Passkeys are a trap, trying to lock users in to the service providers.

I did say I like and use 1Password, but I do remember that they switched from a one-time payment model to a subscription model, and have now stopped supporting the old software and only support their subscription software. If it wasn't for my non-tech-savvy, aging family I support their usage of 1Password for, I would still be on Keepass[XC] for my own private usage.
