Passkeys make switching to Android more challenging, but not for long


Passkeys make switching to Android more challenging, but not for long

Until then, users switching providers will have to manually create a new passkey for each website and save it to the desired password manager.

With all relevant operating systems now natively supporting passkeys, companies have been increasingly adopting them as an alternative to passwords. Relying on passkeys minimizes the risk of getting hacked, as users don't have access to their cryptographic keys, and intercepting them is significantly more challenging. However, those switching between different service providers may prefer traditional passwords, as there's currently no easy way to import or export passkeys. To minimize the friction separating distinct platforms, the FIDO Alliance is working on a solution that makes moving passkeys between them a breeze.
