Does anyone have an explainer for passkeys targetted at a pretty competent engineer of authn systems who is distrustful of big-company closed/proprietary ecosystems and somewhat paranoid about privacy and identity tracking?

How do I manage credentials across different "ecosystems" (windows, macos, ios, various unices, with different "cloud" identies in different providers) for multiple independent identities in various websites? For me, strong non-shared passwords seem ideal and independent.

@dagon I don't have a detailed explainer to give you, but for me using passkeys right now is a nonstarter because currently they can't be moved between identity providers. A draft spec was introduced a couple months ago but it's up to the various identity providers to ratify and support it.
