Big Tech companies want to chain your passkey to their products. Enter Proton Pass, which allows you to manage and use passkeys across all devices seamlessly.
  • Big Tech has implemented passkeys in a way that locks users into their platforms rather than providing universal security
  • Passkeys were developed to replace passwords for better account security, but their rollout by Apple and Google has limited their potential
  • Proton Pass offers passkeys that are universal, easy to use, and available to everyone for improved online security and privacy.

          Not sure what Google has to do with passkeys besides the fact that they’ve implemented them. Google implemented passwords too but I’m guessing you’re fine with those?

          Passkeys are not exclusively controlled by oligarchs so I guess by your own admission you should consider them.

      That is not the takeaway here.

      The takeaway is Passkeys are great technology but as implemented by Google, Microsoft, and Apple fall short of what they could be.

      This isn’t some “owned by the billionaire class”. It’s an open standard that’s why Bitwarden and Proton both have implementations. Big tech of course provided implementations that are not as portable as possible, that’s all that’s going on here.

      There’s really not some big conspiracy to kill kittens or whatever. Passkeys are far more secure (and for most people far more usable) than passwords.
