> Also we still need ways of exporting keys and software (like 1password) needs to synchronize them, manage them securely. There's still a long ways to go on that front, which probably won't be handled until stuff like this has settled.

That's the point of passkeys here: iCloud Keychain syncs them, and if you want to use your keys on a non-apple device you'll be able to scan a QR code, which initiates a new BLE connection so that your phone can sign the login request remotely.




Yes, obviously, but I was mostly referring to being able to share outside iCloud keychain, and in general 3rd party software support for this -- but, I wasn't aware of the BLE option, which is very interesting! I'm already very invested in 1Password (which I would like to integrate somehow, ideally) but that's good to know



I'm writing this on a non-Apple computer that doesn't have any radios. Now what?


What exactly is your point? You can just add a yubikey or any other device that uses WebAuthn to the service you want to authenticate with.


Then use another password manager that supports passkeys?

Like 1Password

We scrap the whole thing since it didn't work for 1 person...


You don’t use the feature.



Buy a cheap USB dongle for BLE?


Also, in what world can you buy a computer with no radios anymore. Even $10 SOC computers have radios.


Many desktop motherboards don't have onboard wifi or bluetooth, so unless you installed a card for that they are limited to ethernet.
