When I say that passkeys are and will be interoperable, I’m extremely serious about it.
This year:
- Chrome, Firefox, and other browsers on macOS can save and use iCloud Keychain’s passkeys (they need to adopt this)
- Third-party password managers can participate in the ecosystem on iOS, iPadOS, and macOS
- The passkeys from those third-party managers will also be usable by all web browsers
Here’s a thread with more information: https://hachyderm.io/@rmondello/110509448037547578
Please spread the word!
@rmondello This sounds really great!!
To confirm, if I want to share passkeys between iPadOS Safari, Android Chrome, and Windows Firefox, the best route is going to be a third-party password manager, right? And per your tweet, Safari/iCloud/iOS is doing its part there?
@domenic @rmondello 1Password currently supports passkeys for all major web browsers on the desktop in the beta version of their browser extension. They’re also working to support this feature on iOS/iPadOS 17 and Android 14. Bitwarden will also support passkeys soon. Using a third-party password manager is the easiest way to use passkeys cross-platform.
