Dashlane is trying to help move things along, announcing today that it’s integrating passkeys into its cross-platform password manager. “We said, you know what, our job is to make security simple for users,” says Dashlane CEO JD Sherman, “and this is a great tool to do that. So we should actually be thinking about ushering in this passwordless era.”
Going forward, Dashlane users can start to set up passkeys to log into sites and apps where they previously would have created passwords.
Bitwarden also announced in the Subreddit that they are working on their solution for passkeys.
Whilst we know you can use your Android passkeys to unlock websites on Safari browser, what happens if you want to switch from Android to using an iPhone, and similar questions? I’d far rather stay with a true cross-platform solution. I only see Big Tech using passkeys as a way to lock users in, especially Apple.
