Passkeys are built on the FIDO2 standard (CTAP2 + WebAuthn standards). They remove the shared secret, stop phishing at the source, and make credential-stuffing useless.

But adoption is still low, and interoperability between Apple, Google, and Microsoft isn’t seamless.

I broke down how passkeys work, their strengths, and what’s still missing

I don't want to boot up a fucking android VM to run some login app every time I need to log into an unimportant account that realistically I would have used "el-passwordo" for the password if it let me.

You can use browser extensions, not sure why you'd think you'd have to run an android VM lmfao

I just know the one my employer forces me to use can't be. Need to use the stupid microsoft app.

Not sure if that's actually a "passkey" in the same sense then, MS is doing its own shit for sure. I use vaultwarden/bitwarden and can save standard passkeys there no problem.
