On this episode of The Vergecast, we figure out passkeys once and for all.

Passkeys: how do they work? No, like, seriously. It’s clear that the industry is increasingly betting on passkeys as a replacement for passwords, a way to use the internet that is both more secure and more user-friendly. But for all that upside, it’s not always clear how we, the normal human users, are supposed to use passkeys. You’re telling me it’s just a thing… that lives on my phone? What if I lose my phone? What if you steal my phone?

    What if I lose my phone? What if you steal my phone?

    Bitwarden supports passkeys, which are stored in your bitwarden vault. If you lost your device, as long as you can still access your bitwarden account, your passkey should still usable.

    I can login with the same passkey on Firefox and Chrome using bitwarden. Too bad it doesn’t work on mobile yet.
