  • That’s why it’s important to avoid vendor lock-in and use actual reputable password managers to secure your passkeys such as Bitwarden, 1Password, or KeePass. On Android 14+ and iOS, you can even set your preferred password manager as the default passkey provider.

    If you don’t fully trust Bitwarden servers, you can self-host a Vaultwarden instance, which is compatible with Bitwarden clients. Alternatively, using a yubikey is also a great hardware based option. Just because Google & Microsoft are heavily promoting passkeys doesn’t mean they’re inherently bad.

    Passkeys work flawlessly for me across platforms:

    • Android 14–15 (except on Brave with de-Googled devices)
    • iOS 17–26 (and likely beyond)
    • Windows 11
    • Linux; while it doesn’t have OS-level integration yet, passkeys work perfectly in modern browsers

    Personally, I use passkeys everywhere. I host my own Vaultwarden instance to store all my passkeys, and for redundancy, I also keep separate ones in my Keepass database, which I use for TOTPs. My self-hosted stack is secured by Authentik, running completely passwordless and uses passkeys for authentication and other apps integrate via OAuth and Proxy Auth.

    I still don’t quite understand the issue you mentioned with websites. Typically, the passkey mechanism is triggered directly by the browser or OS (if you’re on mobile). You’ll be prompted to either save a new passkey or sign in with an existing one. If your password manager is correctly set up as the default credential provider, it should work seamlessly. Even without a browser extension, most Chromium-based browsers let you scan a QR code with another device that has your passkeys or you can simply insert a yubikey to authenticate.

    What infuriates me is that some services like Amazon use passkeys only as second factor and asks for an OTP anyways which defeats the whole purpose. But for services that do it right, passkeys works seamless!


  • What are using lol? I have never been asked to plug in my phone to a computer. I have use Bitwarden and KeepassXC and also used my phone to scan the QR in chromium browsers for passkeys and it just worked in all the browsers flawlessly (even ungoogled chromium). I just want Linux Distros to allow setup a default password manager for the user and implement passkeys auth mechanism for the apps installed in the device.












  • His fingers look unnaturally long. Unless the white board is new, there are no signs of previous smudges. White boards are smooth surfaces, so we should also see reflections in there. The bridge as — pointed out in the thread — looks super wonky. There should be taller buildings as well as seen in the image below.
