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.

    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.

      Are we talking in circles here? “I avoid passkeys because of Google” “Passkeys implemented by Google have problems”

        The way out of the circle that you’ve put yourself in is realizing Google isn’t the only company implementing passkeys.

          And that most people are in multiple ecosystems…e.g. Android/iOS + Windows. So they can’t use a solution that’s not interoperable.

            Fortunately there are several interoperable solutions now. There weren’t as recently as last year though.

        No. “I avoid passkeys because of Google” is avoiding an entire technology because of a bad implementation. “Passkeys implemented by Google have problems” is only avoiding passkeys implemented by Google, leaving using passkeys still on the table.
